"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus for 3 March 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: Mark 10:14-16 "But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whosoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it. And He took them in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them."
"Wow" Since I am a child of God, I am looking forward to His taking me up in His arms, laying His hands upon me, gazing into His eyes, hearing Him talk and listening to His laughter, and then having Him say to me, "Well done My child and welcome to the kingdom that I have prepared for you."
When the disciples of Jesus "rebuked" parents who tried to bring their children to Jesus, He became "indignant." Please note that the Pharisees had easy access to Jesus! How foolish when we place out emphasis on the important people of this word and ignore the children who are much more important to the Lord.
Children exhibit sincerity, eagerness, a trusting attitude, and total dependence on their parents. Thus childlikeness is a fitting comparison for the qualities a disciple should have. Mark often stresses the strong feelings of Jesus as he did in today's Bible Verses. "Suffer" in verse 14, means, "allow." Every parent knows that no child is perfect. But Jesus sees in their refreshing openness to new things, their eagerness to learn and follow, a welcome contrast to adult self-dependence and cynicism.
Today's Hymn: "Child Of The King"
My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold, His coffers are full, He has riches untold
I'm a child of the King, a child of the King, with Jesus as my Savior
I'm a child of the King
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, may we come before You as children with sincerity, eagerness, a trusting attitude and total dependence on You for everything that we do as Christians in serving You our Loving, Caring, Gracious Abba Father. Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Let Jesus be your example and be sensitive to the needs of others."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Pray for Youcef Nasdarkhani the Iranian pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to deny his Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Pray for God's Peace on Jerusalem and pray for His Blessings on the Nation of Israel. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"We will rejoice in our salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions." Psalm 21:5
Jesus Reigns and He is ALWAYS in TOTAL CONTROL.
