Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-20

Mark 10:16 (NKJV) 16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Jesus loves the little children; the very children that the disciples didn’t want near Him.

When Jesus saw them forbidding the children to come near Him, He was like, “oh no no, you let them come to me.”

I just love this example!

Mark 10:14 (NKJV) 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Children meant a lot to Jesus. He took them in His arms, He laid hands on them and blessed them.

We need to pay attention to our children. We need to talk with them, spend time with them, eat with them, play with them and show them love.

Jesus took them in His arms and He loved on them.

When is the last time we took our child, whether young or old, and held them in our arms?

Maybe we are angry at them for things they have done, or choices they have made. But they still need to know that we love them in spite of it all.

Some of us are dealing with children issues and it can rob them of the attention we need to give them. There may be a timing for it. But we need to let Jesus guide our words and our steps toward reconciling, so that it will be meaningful and leave an impression when it all takes place.

Parents, love on your children. Take them in your arms and, as Jesus did, bless them!
