Seize the Moment – Day 1236

Today’s hymn focus will be

Jesus Loves the Little Children

 

Luke 18:16 (NASB95)

 

“But Jesus called for them, saying, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

 

Herbert Woolston was a pastor, song writer and a sleight of hand magician who claimed to have spoken to over a million children. He pastored several churches, but served 40 years at East Baptist Church in Philadelphia, where he grew the congregation from 176 to more than a thousand*. Though the song has three verses, it is the chorus that most of us know. The message was meant to be simple, direct and memorable…that the love of Jesus is for everyone, no matter the color of their skin.

 

Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
they are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

 

We need to wake up and share this message of love with everyone around us, starting with the children! As school has begun, pray for our students, teachers, and administrators of our schools that Jesus’ love could be shared to bring hope, joy and peace into the lives of these precious gifts that God has given us.

Jesus Loves the Little Children

 
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
