Day 23Little Ones with God

Jesus loves the little children

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19.14

One day, lots of moms and dads brought their little children to Jesus so He could bless them. But some of the disciples thought Jesus was too busy and tried to send the children away. Jesus did not like that at all! He said very clearly: 'Let the children come to me, do not stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to them too!' Jesus held the little children close, blessing each one with so much love. This shows something beautiful: you don't have to wait to grow up to be important to Jesus. You are already important to Him right now, just as you are, at whatever age you are. Jesus has such a big love for you, today!

Prayer

Jesus, thank You for loving me just the way I am, even though I'm small. I love You too. Amen.
