"Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone
is simply to include them."
Pamela Bailleaux
Jesus the Christ saw importance in the existence of the young and consistently drew them near. What a beautiful gift it must have been to be brought into a circle of acceptance, encouraged to be just the way you were. Love must have beamed from Him, offering a sense of safety and love.
Children can be mean and sometimes cruel, but the majority of them are kind hearted. They have a willingness to see obvious differences without judgment. Perhaps they still have a sense of soul consciousness not yet tainted by earthly fears. They do have disagreements, but how quickly they move beyond the disharmony.
The arms of Jesus the Christ were always extended towards the children. He took time to listen and just be present. How desperately all children need this. How effortless it is to interact with a child, not having to state race, origin, or opinion. A genuine open smile removes walls and allows the hearts to soar.
