JESUS LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN

“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.  But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Matthew 18:2-6 KJV

I am so glad that Jesus loves children.  He is very protective of our children.  When Jesus sees someone abusing children, it upsets Him and makes Him very angry.  It also hurts Jesus and breaks His heart to see children mistreated.  O that we would love our children unconditionally just as Jesus loves them.

Do we love our children?  If so, what are we doing to prove to them that we love them?  Do we take the time to sit down with them and talk to them or do we watch television without saying anything to our children?  Someone said “I would rather watch television than talk to my kids”.  How that must hurt Jesus.

Several years ago I was really excited about something and I wanted to share it with my Mother.  However, she was watching a baseball game on television and said to me “I don’t want to talk; I want to watch this game”.  It hurt me and broke my heart when she said that to me.

May God help us to be kind and loving to our children and take the time to listen to them and allow them to share with us.  I am so glad to know that Jesus loves our children.
