LITTLE CHILDREN

“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.”

Mark 10:13,14 KJV

I watched a family Christmas program which touched my heart.  When they gave their gifts to one another, you could tell they really loved one another.  Then the little child said “Open my gift, Papa”.  He asked her who the gift was for and she said it was for the Baby Jesus.  She said “Happy Birthday, Jesus”.

The little child was the only one who said “Happy Birthday, Jesus”.  How that must have made Jesus happy when that precious little girl said that to Him.  O that you and I would follow the example of the little girl and tell Jesus we love Him not only by our words but also by our actions.

Heavenly Father, help us be like this precious little girl and prove to Jesus that we love Him by our words and by our actions.  Thank You for Jesus.  I pray for every person who is hurting.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have comforted and encouraged me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
