Matthew 18:2 “And He called a child to Himself and set him before them”

Moms and Dads, is there anything any better than having your child crawl up into your lap to get some hugs and kisses? I can’t think of anything. Well, maybe grandkids doing the same. Lol

Look at this verse again. Jesus called a child from the crowd to use as an example. Now it doesn’t say specifically, but I have to believe that when it says, “set him before them” that He took that child in His lap, probably hugged him and kissed him. That is just the way Jesus was. He loved children. He was always referring to their faith as the faith we must have to follow Him. He used the child to teach.

What can you learn from your child? You know they can help us learn a lot about faith, if we just let them. They believe simply. They don’t try to “figure things out.” They just believe. They just trust. They just accept.

How about you? Are you so busy with your parenting that you have ceased to be a learner? Have you gotten too “mature” to believe all that nonsense? I certainly hope not. Having worked over 36 years with children, I can tell you that I am still learning from them. They teach me every time I am with them.

Will you listen to your child’s heartbeat for God and get in rhythm?
