And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Jesus wanted the little children to come to Him. He rebuked His disciples for trying to prevent the children from coming to Him. God loves children. As believers, we must take care to not hinder little children from coming to Him. We must be careful to keep them from harm, to speak truths about God to them, and to teach them about the LORD.
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for valuing me as your child. Re-awaken in me the wonder, humility, and awe as I seek to live for you and your Kingdom! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
