Some people brought children to Jesus so that he would place his hands on them and pray. ~ Matthew 19:13a (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
God sees children as a welcome gift, rather than an annoying nuisance.PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for the welcoming adults that you put into my life when I was a child. I was not an easy child and they must have had lots of patience. I'm not as patient as they were or as you are. You welcome children but I would be happy if I did not have to bother with them. Please give me a heart for children and all that goes with it -- patience, love, grace, and compassion. I want to welcome children in the same way that Jesus welcomed them. Amen.
