Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
The disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?" He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
"See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for those who are traveling.
I spent this past weekend visiting family and I had a chance to spend some time with my new nephew, Jesse Tyler. I had a chance to feed him, burp him and bounce him (luckily, I didn't change him). It will be amazing to watch him grow up.
I don't have much of a reflection beyond being in awe of God's greatness. It's enough to make a man feel humble like a child. Knowing God's love for each of us and how He does all that He can to make sure that we never get lost is humbling indeed. Take care and God Bless.
