See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. The command not to despise the little ones — not to treat them as insignificant — is grounded in the heavenly reality: the little ones have guardian angels who have constant access to the Father's face. The one who despises the little one despises a person whose angels stand before God. The despising of the humble is the despising of those honored by divine attention.
