Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.
Mark 10:13-16
This is the first time in my Bible reading that I have read this passage since I've had a child. It takes on a different meaning to me now. I am so thankful that Jesus doesn't turn children away in favour of "more important" adults and busyness and ministry. I pray that I am one who will bring my son to Jesus, that He might touch him and lay His hands on him and bless him. And I pray that Jude will always come to Jesus with the heart and faith of a child whether he is 2 or 27 or 65. I am excited to introduce to Jude to the only One who loves him more than Colin and I and to see the plans that God has for Jude unfold in his life.
