Don't Hinder The Children!

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.

  1. We hinder them by not bringing them to church. Remember, they depend on YOU for transportation.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
