All Things Bright and Beautiful 

“Jesus Loves You”.  I saw my husband mouth the words without making a sound.  Before turning around in the restaurant booth to see the recipient behind me, I knew it had to be a small child.  Our commitment in spreading the love of Christ is to touch the heart of a child.  Jesus’ Little Lamb, so to speak.  It’s often done in such a hushed manner that the parents are quite oblivious to the spiritual message.  Yet, when a connection is made with the little one, we know without a doubt, it rings loud and clear.  The proof is visibly evident in their bright eyes and wide smiles. “Jesus Loves You, Jesus Loves You.”  Truer words have never been spoken.  Three soothing words that carry the message of Eternity.  Each trustful gaze is as mesmerizing as the children who gathered at the knees of our Savior in Christian artwork.  This is our reward; to see the glory of God in the face of a child, a toddler, a baby.  Perhaps we need to be reminded of that inspiring song of our youth, “Jesus Loves the Little Children”.  Can we all say “AMEN”?

  1. If you don’t believe the child understands, try it. Every time I do it the child just smiles. I look right into the eyes of the child and in my mind I tell that little creature of God that “Jesus Loves you”. The results are amazing just like our Jesus and it does make you feel so good about passing on The Word.
