Matthew 19:14(NCV) –“ but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to
me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are
like these children.”
How our children and grandchildren see themselves and
dream of what they want to be is critical. Please let it be important on your
‘to-do’ list to help reinforce to our young ones just how special they
are. Children are steadily bombarded with negative talk, paparazzi
newsflashes and hours of unbridled immorality on television. They can
experience school life that is tormented by bullies or be placed in local
schools that are struggling to maintain the minimum of state requirements for
accreditation.
Our children play too many videos games where life is restored by the
push of a button; they believe friendships are contingent upon whether they
have the right type of phone or popularity is determined by how destructive they
can act. All of these things are distractive blockades preventing them from
being in the presence of the Lord. The closer they may want to get to
Jesus, the more they are isolated by these trappings. It is our
responsibility to our children and to the ‘village’ we support to protect them
as we guide them to move closer into the presence of Jesus.
Find a youngster you can help today – encourage them to stay focused and
seed into their lives in a tangible way. The seeds we plant today will
provide for our future.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Make it a
great day for a child. Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose.
Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
