Children.

I am sure that only Jesus can give us joy and rest and peace. I am sure that Jesus can free us from this world.

Adults are boring!!

People go to and fro, doing this and that, about some business, or some vanity. Seeking some end or some rest. Seeking some pleasure or some fulfillment. Seeking some hope or some fellowship. But it all ends in vanity and vexation. Sad display. Busy bodies doing nothing.

But Jesus has made me like a child. A child lives in rest and in peace, they are free from pollution. They are fulfilled in little things. They can see the world in a very clear way. I would hope all children would not have to live in this world, but they do. And I am ashamed at the offenses they must yet encounter. The twisted minds of some adults teaching them out of their own ignorance, and offending the innocence of the little child. WOE TO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF OFFENSES!!!

The kingdom of God is not of proud arrogant people. Busy people. The kingdom is of little children. And unless a person humbles themselves as a little child, they will not enter it. I see many offended children more than I see mature adults. Just a bunch of offended children, and this is sad.

Satan desires to offend, but Jesus to give life, and restore innocence. And the children are up against the kingdom of darkness. I pray for the children, that they will not be cast away. Let's pray for this. That Jesus protect the children. Let's hope for it. I am reminded of John 17. Let's see what Jesus said of the little children:

1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

AMEN!!!

But to you who would offend the children. This is to you:

WOW!!! HAHA!! JESUS IS GREAT LISTEN...

Matt 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matt 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Matt 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matt 18:7 ¶Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Matt 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

The Holy Spirit truly does bear witness of the Truth!
