📖 Verse of the Day
“But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
Reflection:
In Luke 18:15-17, we see a touching scene where parents bring their children to Jesus, seeking His blessing. The disciples, perhaps thinking they were protecting Jesus from interruption, tried to turn them away. But Jesus, ever compassionate, calls the children to Him, saying, "Let the little children come to me." He emphasizes that the kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it like a child.
This passage is a powerful reminder of the qualities that Jesus values: humility, trust, and openness. Children come to Jesus without pretense or pride, simply seeking His love and presence. Jesus not only welcomes them but also points to them as examples of the kind of faith we all need—uncomplicated, sincere, and fully trusting.
Today, let's embrace this childlike faith. Let's approach Jesus with hearts open and eager, unburdened by cynicism or doubt. In a world that often values complexity, may we find joy in the simplicity of trusting Him completely. Remember, Jesus' arms are always open, welcoming us with the same love and grace He showed the children.
Ask Yourself:
How can I simplify my faith and approach God with childlike trust?
What can I learn from the openness and humility of children in my spiritual journey?
🙏 Prayer of the Day
Heavenly Father,
Today, I come before You with a childlike heart, ready to receive Your love and guidance. In a world that often values self-reliance, help me embrace the humility and trust of a child.
May my faith be uncomplicated and sincere, free from the burdens of doubt and cynicism. As I navigate the complexities of life, remind me of the simple truth: Your Kingdom belongs to those who come to You with open hearts.
Guide me to find joy in Your presence, to trust in Your goodness, and to rest in Your unfailing love. May my life reflect the beauty of Your Kingdom, shining brightly for all to see.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
🖋 Quote of the Day
“The child asks of the Father whom he knows. Thus, the essence of Christian prayer is not general adoration, but definite, concrete petition. The right way to approach God is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
