WHAT a hard heart it would be that would not love the little ones. Nearly every one, has love for a little, helpless baby. It is good to think of the Lord Jesus when He was here upon earth, when some had brought young children to Him, that He should touch them. His disciples rebuked those that brought them, but when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them,
Then He took them in His arms, and put His hands upon them, and blessed them. The disciples evidently thought the children were too little for the Lord to take any notice of, but He loved them, and showed that all needed to take the humble place, and be simple as little children, to enter into the Kingdom of God.
His love is an untiring and unchangeable one, and He will never do what some parents have done—turn away from their children. Scripture says,
“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.” Psa. 27:1010When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. (Psalm 27:10). He cares and provides someone else to look after those who are forsaken by parents.
What would any of us do if it were not for God’s tender care over us? He is the one who gave His only Son for us, and
He is the One who gives us all we need.
If you are one who has known and received God’s love in the gift of His son, may you seek to manifest it to others as well.
