I was going through my photographs on my smart phone and found this wonderful little gem the my 9 year old daughter made from a photo editing program. Precious moments like these are such a blessing to find. Our children are the gifts of God to us and also a precious charge to raise in his admonition .
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
Proverbs 13:22
Jesus Christ even illustrates the blessed innocence and faith that a child should have that he declares how severe he would punish any who would offend them and how he would expect those who trust and believe on him to behave.
"At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
Matthew 18:1-6 KJV
The Faith of A child does not seek personal greatness
"Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great."
Luke 9:46-48 KJV
