James 5:13-20, Ps 114, Mark 10:13-16

Jesus is for children too!

No wonder Jesus tells us we must let children come to him: he remembered the sorrow of missing out on spending time with God when he was very young. His disappearance when he was twelve to do his father’s work in the temple and subsequent removal must have been one such time.

Holy Spirit, thank you for opportunities to share our joy in Christ, and his love and forgiveness with all people. May our example encourage parents to bring their children to you and inspire them to continue to uphold the faith as a family.
