Cheerful obedience. Following though on Gods commands for our lives. Being faithful to what He is calling us to be each and every day. Care connections. Relationship building. Finding time while keeping first things first. Gods heart is for those who have no voice, for the captives, and the oppressed. Those that are soo crushed that they cannot look up and see Him. There should be a divine passion for them in each of our souls! A heavenly desire for their well-being, because God prizes them highly and His heart breaks to see them suffer. What about someone who chooses to live in sin. Do we act like that is okay or are we willing to take the high road and help raise them in His plan. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus repeatedly speaking about how important children are to Him and to the Father. In Mark 10, we encounter Jesus surrounded by people, teaching them the truths of God. Some of the parents in the crowd started bringing their children to Him so He could bless them. The disciples rebuked them and started practicing crowd control. When Jesus noticed what was happening, He was displeased and told His disciples,Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of God Mark 10:14. He actually interrupted His teaching , put His hands on them and blessed them. In the midst of His busy ministry, Jesus stopped everything He was doing to show these children His love and interest! Do we follow this example. Do we put our plans, self interests, housework, jobs, sports, or??? over finding time to pour into His children? Which is eternal? Jesus sat and gave children His undivided attention, and He commands us to do the same in His name. He is sooo happy when we care for others in His name, so much that He will come and be with them in a special way. He tells us further in Mark 9:37 that we receive not only the Son, but God the Father also. SO there is special blessing for those who share the heart of the eternal for His children. Talk it. Pray it. BUT most importantly, LIVE it!
