ONE MONTH TO LIVE - DAY NINE (CHILDREN)

I love kids.  I think I get along better with kids than adults.  They seem to like me more and I seem to like them more!  We get each other.  It must be my child-like immaturity or the FUN side of me that loves to play, explore and be creative.

In Mark 10:13-16 people were bringing kids to Jesus so that Jesus could touch them, and his own disciples rebuked them.  One might think this is noble since they were protecting Jesus' ministry and time but the Bible says that Jesus was "indignant", meaning he took offense and strong displeasure.  But to whom was Jesus offended and displeased with?  The children?  No!  He took offense at his disciples!  Why?  Guess who also loves kids?  Yes, Jesus loves children big time!

Because Jesus says, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Let's love children.  I love my daughter Kristen so much.  I used to kiss her 50 times a day.  She only let's me kiss her up to 10 times at one time, and that's stretching it.  I can't stop telling her that I love her and smother her with kisses.  Let us love and invest time and energy into the next worldchangers!
