Children and Jesus

The love and devotion of a child is amazing.  Until they reach a certain age, they will keep their simple faith in those that love and care for them.  Disrupt their early years, and some things become unsettling and difficult for them.

However Jesus tells us, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."  NIV  Heaven forbid, we should ever do anything to keep children from seeing Jesus.  Jesus holds them up as example to us.  May we live in such a way that our lives point not only our children, but the friends of children to Jesus.  

What are little children observing in us today as we live out our lives before them?  Are we hindering or helping them see Jesus?
