Luke
18:16
But Jesus
called them unto him, and said,
Suffer little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
This is a
correction that Jesus was giving to His disciples. Ladies were bringing their babies to Jesus in
order to have Him touch them. The
disciples were rebuking the women for doing this. Jesus told His disciples that their actions
were wrong and that children were very important to Him. We learn God’s heart here about children. Although we don’t read a lot of recorded
encounters between Jesus and children, we get quite a picture of His heart in
this statement. Our Savior loves
children. He wants children to come to
Him. He wants us to facilitate easy
access to Him and be that kind of people who embrace opportunities to be used
to bring children to Jesus. This is His
heart. Consider your attitude towards
children. Do you tend to push children
away? Do you see them through His
eyes? Lord, help us be used to bring the
little children to You, that You might touch them and that they might know Your
love and friendship.
Runny noses, high-pitched screams ,
And energy so much,
Remind us to that the little children,
Need to feel His touch.
