Parents pushed and shoved their children forward, hoping the famous man would bless them. His disciples, thinking they were protecting Him from unwanted demands, tried to shoo the kids away, but this important man became indignant.

He said, “Let the children come to Me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”

He took the children into His arms and hugged them. The children loved Him. And who was this man?

His name was Jesus.

Jesus showed His well-intentioned disciples how important children are to God.

Question: Dad…Mom…do you make time for your children like Jesus did?

Jesus, who lived an incredibly busy life, was not too busy to make time for the children.

Are you?

Very often, we can show a child how important they are when we give them a listening ear or a hug. It’s time that they want and need.

When it comes to your kids, ask the Lord to help you be like Jesus. No job is more important than that – even if you’re the Son of God.
