Devotion:
Read Matthew 19:13-15.
Jesus teaches the disciples that to be part of his kingdom is to have a child-like quality about us. We are to live life with a spirit of freedom that says we totally trust God. We do not have to understand the mysteries of the universe; it should be enough to know that God loves us and provides forgiveness for our sin.
The disciples must have forgotten what Jesus had previously said about children. Jesus wanted little children to come because he loves them and because they have the kind of attitude needed to approach God. The receptiveness of the children was a great contrast to the stubbornness of the religious leaders who let pride and religious superiority stand in the way of the simple faith needed to believe in Jesus.
Personal Worship Option:
When did God open your eyes to accept him? Thank Him for his grace in your daily activities. Look for a way to share your story.
