Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word. If you want to leave comments or feedback, you can email jp0870584@gmail.com. I personally interact with children in the same way that Christ did because they are a blessing and I believe they have guardian angels who stand in the presence of God to protect them. God bless you.
The scripture is from Mark 10:14-16: “Bur when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, ‘Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these. Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kington like a little child, he will no way enter into it.’ He took them in his arms, and bless them, laying his hands on them.”
The devotion is titled The Miracle of the Moment by Pastor Ken. The disciples tried to prevent some young children from “bothering” Jesus as He was teaching a crowd of people. Jesus stopped them, and told them that we all should be eager to come to Him and willing to respond to Him with genuine faith and trust as the children.
Then He blessed them. Jesus wants us to have the desire to pass those blessings on to others. He knew that even the smallest kindness act or simple encouraging words can make a huge difference in someone’s life.
We don’t need to have a lot of money or material wealth to be a blessing on someone’s life. You can lend a helping hand, share, and always make sure your words build others up and not tear them down.
Be a miracle in someone’s life today and always. Be the one who brings God’s children to Jesus.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: How can we imitate God’s love by paying it forward today?
Here is my response, yours may be different: I can imitate God’s love by paying forward the blessings and love that He gives me on a daily basis.
A Personal Prayer for us: Dear God, thank you for calling us Your child. You have given us the power to encourage, help, and inspire. Please help us be a light that shines brightly for You, leading more of Your children to You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
