Jesus Loves the Little Children.


At church this last Sunday we sang the song, "Indescribable" The chorus as I'm sure most of you are familiar with goes like this:

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Later Sunday afternoon, Jarrod showed up at my door. As he worked on our Harry Potter puzzle he began to sing this song. The words are a bit off, but to hear him worship God in this sweet and pure way was a gift to my heart.

As I sat and listened to Jarrod sing I couldn't help but think of the passage in Mark.

13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
