“ I’m convinced that one of the most powerful forces on earth is the prayer of a child. ”
I spend half my time comforting the afflicated, and the other half afflicting the comfortable.
~ Wess Stafford
But when adults speak up for the vulnerable and the weak, working and demanding that safety and respect prevail, God's little lambs are protected and nourished. They know they are not abandoned; they are loved. And the world becomes a little more like heaven as a result.
Children are ingenuous. They are also blessed with uncanny ability to read a person's character instantly. Even though they are inexperienced and unsophisticated, they often know instinctively who can be trusted and who is the charlatan.
Just know this: What you will do among children is as close to the heart of God and central to his kingdom as anything we could mention.
