Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matthew 19:14).
Make sure that you don't "hinder" what God is doing in your children. How do we sometimes "hinder" them, you might ask.
- We hinder them by not bringing them to church. Remember, they depend on YOU for transportation.
- We hinder them by not recognizing the importance of what God might be doing in their lives. Remember these were young children that Jesus blessed.
- We hinder them by cluttering their lives with other things so that there is little time for God or His church.
Prayer: "Lord, forgive me if I have hindered the children. May I point them to You and may You work in their lives. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
Blessings!
