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 peace in the major decisions you have in your life.
To my dear friend,
You have become so cynical when it comes to things of heaven. You have forgotten that there are things beyond human understanding that you still try to put into limited understanding mechanisms such as logic and reasoning.
I see you turn your head from those who are in need of mercy on a daily basis. I see you turn your head from me on a daily basis. Have you forgotten that only I can change hearts. Apparently, I still need to work on yours.
I have given you a reading this day. You lie to children about such things as Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny (during celebrations of My Birth and My Resurrection) and children believe. I tell you things that are Truth and you still have a hard time believing. I tell you to "fear not," yet you consume yourself with anxiety. I tell you to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul," yet you filled with busyness without thinking of me.
Look at the example you set for the children of this day. They learn examples from you. In the reading today, I warned you not to lead these little ones astray. Do not let Satan lead these little ones; rather lead them to Me. If you wish to be great, brothers and sisters, lead My people back to Me and be humble enough to bring yourself back to Me. Do not let one of these little ones get lost. Take care and God Bless.
