Children

Children

“Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  I assure you that whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.’  Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them.”  (Mark 10: 14 – 16)

Thank you Lord for your word on little children.  I yearn to know your heart and mind intimately and to act like you.  You have shown me your mind on little children.  I see that this is a subject very close to your heart.  I confess that I do not always feel this way about little children.  Sometimes I see them as a disturbance and a distraction.
Lord, make me see little children with your eyes.  Put into my heart, love and tenderness for them.  Make me to acquire the heart and the simplicity of a little child.
