The Gospel of Mark Chapter 10 V- 13 and 16

13 And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” 16 Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.

In Mark 10:13-16, we see Jesus welcoming little children and emphasizing their importance in the Kingdom of God. The disciples, trying to dismiss the children, are gently corrected by Jesus, who states, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God." This poignant message reminds us that everyone, regardless of age, is valuable and deserving of God's love and the opportunity to encounter His Word.

As I reflect on this passage, I am constantly reminded of my calling—a divine message delivered by an angel, urging me to become a “Teacher of God's children.” This calling underscores the belief that every person in the world is a Child of God and must be given the chance to experience His Word in action. It is my mission to ensure that all Children of God are nurtured and guided towards understanding their place in God’s family.

Through my daily Godcast, I strive to bring the message of Christ to life. It’s a platform designed not only to share teachings but to inspire listeners to become Spirit-led, God-inspired, and Christ-fed. I believe that when we engage with God’s Word actively, we begin to comprehend the profound love and grace that He extends to us all.

Ultimately, my heart's desire is for every listener to feel the warmth of His embrace and to recognize their worth as God's precious children. May they hear these sacred truths and respond in faith, knowing that they are called to reflect His love in the world. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

I am a poet obedient to Christ,

Ephesians 6:17-20

02-28-2025 Mark 10 v1316

**Let the Children Come to Me**

In ancient days, by shores so grand,

The children came to take His hand,

With laughter bright and eyes aglow,

To Jesus, their love and mercy flow.

The disciples turned with stern decree,

“Do not disturb; let them be free!”

But Jesus saw their hearts so pure,

"Let them come close; my love is sure."

He knelt beside them, blessings bestowed,

In their small hands, His grace flowed,

For in each child, the kingdom's key,

A glimpse of faith, a heart set free.

So let us gather, young and spry,

With wonder vast, to reach the sky,

For in His arms, we all belong,

As God’s own children, we grow eternally strong. Amen.
