Daytime welcome—when little hearts wonder if they belong.

When I feel too small to come near

A quiet read at the table—full panels live in Jesus welcomes the little children.

Sometimes grown-ups are busy. Sometimes voices hurry. Little ones can wonder if Jesus has time for them. He does.

Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10:14 (KJV)

Jesus was not pleased when people sent children away. He opened His arms. You do not have to be big, fixed, or finished to come.

What is one small way we can show a little heart today that Jesus wants them near?

Lord Jesus, thank You that little children belong with You. Help us welcome each other the way You do. Amen.
