Devotional
Jesus and his disciples were busy people! They were busy helping people, and they were busy saving the world. So, when some parents brought their children to Jesus, the disciples thought, Jesus is too busy! The disciples thought, “Jesus has more important things to do, and he doesn't have time for kids.” But, Jesus talked to the disciples about it, and Jesus explained, actually he wants to see the kids. Jesus loves kids, and Jesus has time for kids. So, even when everyone else is too busy for you, Jesus is not too busy for you. Jesus loves you and he thinks you're important. And, when we follow Jesus, we need to remember he cares about people who are littler than us. And, we need to remember, Jesus thinks they're important too.
