“From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” Psalm 8:2 (NIV).

Last night I had dinner with a friend and her 8-year-old daughter. The little girl is the sweetest thing to be around; sometime during dinner, she got paper and pen out and started to write rather intently. I thought she was writing a story, but was surprised when she handed a sweet letter to me! She wrote nice things about me and even wrote my name plus her name equals “friends forever.” My heart was basking in the sun of that little girl’s innocent love and friendship. I felt loved instantly.

The Lord Jesus spoke of little children in a very special way, and He spurred us to be like them. In Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” If we allow ourselves to become more like little children, we will be less likely to get discouraged by nonsense and pettiness around us, and pay attention to things that really matter. I have put my little friend’s letter in a special place where I will be able to see it and use it as a reminder of her love and admiration for me. Striving to think and love like her, I hope I don’t disappoint her innocent faith in me.

 “Father, there is little in the world today that reminds us of the innocence and purity that we are to keep in our hearts – just like with the little children. Please help us to fight evil with good and hate with love. Help us to love like You love us.”

For His Glory
