Mark 9:37
“Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”

Let me share with you a very nice poem.
When we are children there's a part of us that is open to love, and faith and trust through a little child's laughter and teary eyes. There's a holy laughter, and tears so pure, there's an innocence that will always endure.
But as we grow older, that part of us dies.
There's a dream and vision, an endless sea, the tingling of life in a heart set free. Nothing to prove, no possessions to hold but a joy and peace more precious than gold.
It's a beautiful place, fiery and wild when we return to the heart of the child.
Let's take off our masks and drop the facade and live like the children of the Living God. Take a chance, you may be betrayed if you risk it all but He'll be there to catch you when you slip and fall.
Remember that our Father to whom we pray considers us His children each day and like little children we must learn to rely on the love of our Father who reigns on high.
So much prejudice to forget and unlearn, it's the heart of the child for which we yearn. We can't enter heaven with a heart defiled, it must change through Jesus to the heart of the child.
Innocence lost, is so hard to regain. We get forgiven but hold on to the pain. But Jesus is saying to us, “Come to me with the heart of a child.”
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, may we see and accept your love through the eyes of a child. Amen +
The Lord upholds my life.
