Jesus said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” Mark 10:14-15

Today I will go to the Lord like a child: Precious in my limitations. Trusting. Vulnerable. Loving and ready to be loved. I will confide in him all that troubles me and rest, knowing I am heard, blessed, and healed by his love and compassion.
