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
This news article discusses what happened to two innocent lives who trusted their aunt to love and care for them. It will break your heart if you researched more about their story. All they wanted, even after the beatings with extension cords and being denied food, was to be loved. The surviving twin brother STILL wanted his aunt to know he loved her so much. I wept from deep within. Love is all they wanted. Regardless of the 4 million dollar settlement he received, how will it ever fulfill his empty love tank? Love cannot be bought. There is no price for it.
Here is what God's Word says about children:
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
WHOA!!! I wouldn't want to have to face God for hurting any of His children.
In order to clear my thoughts after reading such a horrific news article, I began to think of those that love children..and care deeply for them. An awesome friend named Annette has taken in a child to live with her as her own. He is a beautiful young boy, with the most precious blue eyes I have ever seen. I saw them in church this past Sunday. There he was, sitting on her lap, as she wept at what the preacher was saying. I stared at them from way across the sanctuary. I asked God to forever bless her for what her and her entire family have done on behalf of this gift from God.
I love this photo of my brother in Christ, Freddy, with my granddaughter at just a few months old. If you really look at it, his heart is intense when he kissed her. He was blessing her. It was a moment that I am so happy was caught on camera. This photo is one of my favorites.
The list goes on and on of people I know that love children, and in doing so, carry out the Father's plans to love and protect the children here on earth. Sadly, it doesn't always happen. But I trust that no matter what, ultimately suffering children end up in His Arms.
Be kind to a child today. Show the love of Jesus.
God bless!
