Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Valentine's Day just passed and for the past few weeks, everywhere we looked there were signs reminding us to buy chocolate, flowers, and cards for those we love.

Jesus showed His love to small children on particular day, not with flowers or candy, but by drawing them to His side and showing them how important they were to Him.

He demonstrated to the parents and adults around that day, that those children were important and should be shown love and care.

This is an excellent picture for us today, especially with Valentine's Day just passed, of how we are to treat children. Love them.

Let us not hinder them from being with Jesus.

Remember that every child that steps into your class or small group is important to Jesus. Take the time to prepare your lessons, pray over them, and be prepared to love each child as we follow in our Master's footsteps.
