January 27- Let There Be Kids!

Exodus 4:1-5:21
Matthew 18:1-20
Psalm 22:19-31
Proverbs 5:15-21

In Matthew 18, Jesus says "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." As I read these words, I ask myself "What is the secret that little kids hold, which no one else does?" Is it their humility (as the verse indicates)? Their innocence? Their willingness to accept others? Their ability to forgive? Why have children discovered a secret that adults just can't seem to figure out? What makes them so special?

Then, I sit down with my kids and I know exactly why Jesus said what he did.
