But Jesus said, Suffer
little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14)
Jesus spoke to the crowd telling them no to hinder the
little children from coming to Him. He made a very clear and hard statement: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. The
kingdom of heaven belongs to them. I love to listen to my kids and how pure and
innocent their faith is, and I often learn from their innocence and unconditional
love.
Yesterday my little one did not want to go to his mom. This created
quite a predicament and I had to talk to her and try and make her understand
that we need to look at his interests first and what will heal his little
heart. I can just imagine how hard it is for him to understand and deal with
all of this when it is hard for me. It is hard and difficult, and I am so careful
not to do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing. So, I was in prayer asking
God for advice and especially wisdom.
I feel that the Holy Spirit is guiding me in creating a save
environment and way for my son to heal and understand and cope with what is
dropped into his little life. This is why these verses came to mind when Jesus
said do not hinder them. I feel that we should not force a child into a place
if he is not yet comfortable with it. I also believe that my son will heal over
time and everything will be fine. But it is in this moment that we should act responsibly
and not selfish or inappropriate. So, I will make it clear to him that his mommy
loves him, and this is better for her.
I will never turn my children against their mom, and I will
not try and make her look bad so that I can look good and not so guilty. My main
concern remains my child and his best interest and if you think that is wrong,
please take a moment and read these verses. The kingdom of heaven belongs such
as these. It is a very important time in his little life, and I will make sure
he feels safe and protected and loved through this.
So, today I wish to remind you that we must have child like
faith. Unconditional faith and trust in God. This is where I find myself currently.
I am at scratch putting all my faith and trust back into God and His time and
plans. In no way will I detour from my current path and in no way will I not
listen to the voice of my God. I want to bring my kids to the Lord and pray for
them and their mom so that all of this will pass and that all of us will be fine
once more. Have an awesome weekend.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
Cheers
