Matthew 19:14 (NKJV) 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Children are very special to Jesus. He says in this verse, let them come to Me, do not forbid them.
As parents, one thing we know is that when kids are little we can help them in so many ways. They will look up to us and listen. And most of the time they will obey what we say.
They stand by every word Mommy and Daddy say as being true.
This is the time to help them by molding them and teaching them truth. Kids want the truth!
It doesn’t mean they won’t stray at times throughout their lives. They may try different things, but our voices will remain in their ears as authorities.
Direct our children to Jesus and His truth. Take time out of our busyness and theirs. Don’t let them run us around causing us to be too tired to sit with them. Talk, share and show them how to get to Jesus.
They will follow.
