Have you had your Joy Juice today? The joy of the Lord is
for children of all ages…and that includes you and me!
Why does it
seem that children more readily experience JOY than adults? True, grownups have more responsibility and
we have been taught to act “mature” in our dealings with others. But I think we often miss the beauty of
having a child-like faith.
Thank God
for any children you have in your life.
WHAT A BLESSING! Psalm 127:3
says, “Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.” Do you demonstrate thankfulness to God for
those precious children He has given you to influence and mold? They are a handful sometimes…a great
responsibility! But Jesus instructs us in Matthew 18:10: "See that you do not look
down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven
always see the face of my Father in heaven.”
Mark 9:36-37
touches my heart in a special way, because of Christ’s loving example:
He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his
arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children
in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one
who sent me."
Jesus loves the little children. And no matter
what our age, we qualify as His child! What a serving of sweet joy!
