Little Children

Scripture: 1 Around that same time, the disciples came to Jesus and questioned Him about the kingdom of heaven. A Disciple: “In the kingdom of heaven, who is the greatest?” 2 Jesus called over a little child. He put His hand on the top of the child’s head . Jesus: 3 “This is the truth: unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 In that kingdom, the most humble who are most like this child are the greatest. 5 And whoever welcomes a child, welcomes her in My name, welcomes Me. 6 And do not lead astray one of the weak and friendless who believes in Me. If you do, it would be better for you to be dragged down with a millstone and drowned in the bottom of the sea.” (Matthew 18:1-6 The Voice) Little children: I do love them and the way they look at life. It can be so simple for them. As adults, we think we have to figure out so much stuff and, of course, push to more and higher positions, etc. Jesus says be more like a little child – simple in our faith, generous in our love and care for others, and showing those less fortunate the way to faith. Help me with this, Lord. I want to be more like a little child (not in childish actions), but in my faith and love. I love You. AMEN I will not hide the truths of Your stories and lessons from the next generations. I desire for them to know of Your miracles and commands. Psalm 78
