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".

We always remember our childhood. It may be a bad one, but still we still try to squeeze out good memories out of it. I would remember the time me and my family would go out for dinner, or go to the beach, or to the park and have some picnic. It was indeed memorable and will forever be etched in my mind.
Why do we like to reminisce about about our childhood? Well, for one, it was the most happiest stage in someone's lives. We are carefree, no problems and fully trusting to our parents to provide us everything. Yes, everything, since for most of us, getting something out of love is already everything.
So, it was indeed great to be part of a family where we spend our childhood days. Our lives are full of life and very dependent to our parents.
And Jesus is speaking of the same. He wants us to be part of a larger family. A family that is dedicated to loving our Lord and God. A family that is moving to make one another focused to our Almighty Father. And as we are accepted by Jesus to His family when we were baptized, the family to which we belong rejoices in heaven.
Receive the Lord in our hearts as our Lord and Savior. And share that same love to others. And as more souls are received in heaven because of you, the more rejoicing in heaven as we dedicate our family to God, our Lord.
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, thank you for accepting me in Your family. Thank You for allowing me receive You as my Lord, my Savior and my God. Continue to guide me and love me, as well as my family as we forever keep You in our hearts, fully trusting in You. Amen +
