A Daily Devotional
About being a witness to a little child:
Matthew 19:13 Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (NIV)
As much as you are able, take a child into your heart. In Christ's name and with His love, put your arms around this small person and help heal the child's hurts in the past, present, and future. Pray to Christ He will protect this child forever and ever. In Christ's name, and in His love and mercy, give this child a shield keeping away the darkness and evil. Do everything in your power to keep away the evil wanting to hurt and maim. Show this child, by the expression of your love, the tangible kindness and the full measure of Christ's power. Through your own heart, let Christ's beaming radiance give this child a future grounded on the hope and promise flowing from Christ to the innermost part of the heart. As the child grows, give this child a full knowledge of Christ's sacrifice upon the Cross. When this child feels hurt caused by others, show this little heart how resounding forgiveness of others brings eternal healing.
