But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Luke 18:16
Sadly, a family in
our community recently suffered the tragic loss of their young son. There are
no words that can heal the brokenness of this family’s loss. I personally know
several people who have lost their young child and the healing process never
ends.
As I was sitting in
church this morning, praying for this family, God laid today’s verse on my
heart. You see, in the middle of Jesus’s ministry to the adult population, Jesus
took a moment to receive these young children into his presence, by allowing
them to sit on His lap and embrace them with His love. What a beautiful moment
to see Jesus bless these little ones. I
can only imagine the beauty of Jesus receiving young children in Heaven,
embracing them with His arms and loving them as His very own.
Words can provide
little comfort for those grieving here on earth, but the reminder that Jesus
has promised theirs is the kingdom of God hopefully will provide some peace
and comfort knowing their child is in the presence of Jesus Christ and one day,
we will join them for all eternity.
May God’s presence
surround you with His love and healing during this most difficult time. May the
comfort of knowing your loved one is in a perfect place, bring peace to your
grieving heart. God bless!
