LET THEM COME!

LET THEM COME!


As ADULTS=it is easy
To get perturbed
With young children


Especially if
They are NOT OUR OWN=
But Jesus
Was NOT that way


He found God
IN the young children
He found them to be
IN the KINGDOM of Heaven


LET THEM COME!


“CHILDREN were brought
To Jesus
That he might lay
His hands on them
And PRAY


The disciples rebuked them
But Jesus said=
'Let the children
COME TO ME


And do not prevent them
For the Kingdom of heaven
BELONGS to such
As these'” Matthew 19:13-14


We discover
That the Kingdom of heaven
BELONGS to us too
When we behave
Like a child


When we have that LOVE-
When we have that INNOCENCE-
Innocence-living in our hearts


Let us come
LET THEM COME!
Let the children of God
Come to
The KINGDOM OF HEAVEN


“CHILDREN are a heritage
From the Lord


Offspring a reward
From him” Psalm 127:3


“He took a little CHILD
Whom he placed
Among them


Taking the child
In his arms
He said to them


'Whoever welcomes
One of these
Little CHILDREN


In my name
Welcomes me


And whoever welcomes me
Does NOT welcome me
But the one
Who sent me'” Mark 9:36-37


WELCOMING children
In the Lord's name
Let them=COME TO US


As we take on
Their qualities=and INNOCENCE
And approach
The Kingdom of heaven


We can become
Like children too=especially
When we REALIZE
Our total DEPENDENCE on God


When we realize
God is=who KEEPS US
From ultimate harm


And that he is
The one
Who keeps our SPIRIT fed


And he holds us=in love
Awake and asleep
Just like A PARENT WOULD


“For if you
DO these things
You will never stumble


And you will receive
A RICH WELCOME
Into the eternal kingdom


Of our Lord
And SAVIOR=Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:11


For we are
THE LORD'S CHILDREN
And he WELCOMES us
As one of his own


LET US COME!
Let the CHILDREN COME!:


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our ALWAYS WELCOMING FATHER
