WRINKLES OF LOVE

“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and
his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he
was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”
Mark 10: 13, 14
King James Version
I have a cover on my couch that I straighten after someone sits on it.
My nephew and his family came over this afternoon to visit. I have not
seen him in three years. What a joy it was to my heart to see him today!
I did not straighten the cover on the couch after they left, and it may
be a while before I do because there are wrinkles of love made by his
children.
We need to stop worrying so much about how our house looks when the
children are playing because they grow up very fast. Sometimes it may
seem like they will never grow up and leave home. Yet, many times after
they leave home we wish they were still little and living at home. We
should hug them every day and tell them we love them because when they
are grown and leave home, they sometimes move to another state.
When we accept Jesus as our personal Saviour, we have to go to Him in
childlike faith. Many times we think that we have to get our life
straightened out before we go to Him. It is just the opposite, because
without Jesus, it is impossible to clean up our lives. It takes His
cleansing blood applied to our hearts to take away our sins and the
filth of our past.
Allow your children to mess up your home and cherish them. Above all,
tell them about Jesus and His Love for them. Put your arms around them
and love them to Jesus before it is too late.
