Lambs of Jesus Flock

Those who love God should feel deeply interested in the children and youth. To them God can reveal His truth and salvation. Jesus calls the little ones that believe on Him, the lambs of His flock. He has a special love for and interest in the children. . . . The most precious offering that the children can give to Jesus, is the freshness of their childhood.

Sharing Childish Joys & Sorrows

Christ watched children at their play, and often expressed His approval when they gained an innocent victory over something they were determined to do. He sang to children in sweet and blessed words. They knew that He loved them. He never frowned on them. He shared their childish joys and sorrows. Often He would gather flowers, and after pointing out their beauties to the children, would leave them with them as a gift. He had made the flowers and He delighted to point out their beauties.

An Attitude of Love

"In learning how to love our children it is essential that we learn the proper attitude, method and timing of discipline. The proper attitude must be love. We must believe, and the child must also believe, that we are correcting him because in the long run it will be good for him."
