“And David said, while the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” (2 Samuel 12:22-23)
Jesus said: “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven”(Matthew 19: 14)
Jesus had a special place in His heart for children. At CEF we are trying to reach the children before they are influenced by the world.
Yours in Christ,
Carl
