Little Ones to Him Belong...

“At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, ‘Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!’” Matthew 18:1-7

“Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him Belong; they are weak and He is strong. Yes Jesus loves me! Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so!” I am not sure if I even remember all the words correctly (and I know someone will send me the right words if these are not remembered correctly) but the little song still plays perfectly in my head. When we come to Jesus the first time and after we are His child, we are to come as a child. This means to be humble, respectful and without defences, just as a child comes to a grown up.

“’Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.’” Matthew 11:28-29

PS: Prayer Requests: Carla and the boys still need your prayers as they recover from their physical and emotional journey. Gregg must sell his home in the UK; Reg’s ministry; doctors and specialists caring for Lyle’s brother (his bones are not healing because of the chemo), David, Adrian and Randy. My need. (The request has been briefly detailed to the left).
