Some mothers brought their little children to the Savior, that he
might bless them. His disciples, however, told the women to go away
and not trouble their master with children. Then Jesus, hearing this,
reproved his disciples and said, Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he
then took them in his arms and blessed them.
Should you not like the Lord Jesus to bless you, my dear little
reader? Then pray to him and he will do so. He is the same kind friend
to little children now that he was then, and he loves all who love and
serve him. Try, then, to be good, and he will love and bless you. You
will then be happy in this world, and when you come to die you will go
to heaven and be happy with him in the world to come.
