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.
