In tune with the will of God...

“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. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. (Matthew 18:10-14 ESV) The disciples had asked him about the leadership positions in the Kingdom of God. So Jesus is addressing them as such. Rather than looking out for themselves,and who would be the "greatest", they (and we) are to look out for those who in childlike faith are seeking after God. They are to look no further than the will of God: that he desires that none of them should perish, none of them would be lost, none of them be kept from following Him. Our job is to go after them, to draw them safely home, and watch over them well.
