children church

If you know me well, or if you read some of my posts, you may know that I like love kids. So I decided to signed up for children church ministry. At first, I wonder how come it called children CHURCH and not Sunday School instead, like what's common. I don't know until I stepped in the service hall and see this...

I was amazed about how many kids were there in the hall. How come there are so many kids attending church at Saturday morning? The service started and as predicted, the kids couldn't sit still, poking and talk to their friends. BUT. When it came the time of worship, they stand, raise both of their hands, close their eyes and sing. I could tell they sing from their heart. Some of them even start to tear. 

Looking at that kind of view, my heart swell and I began to tear as well. I mean, they are 6 and 7 years old and yet they understand and can feel the presence of God. It blew my mind. 

When I saw them lifted up their hands and sing "You are everything we need...", that moment I realize Jesus really is for everyone. I don't know about you, but I used to think they won't understand, they won't get it, they are too young and not mature enough to know about Jesus. But I was wrong, I am the one who is not mature and pure enough to know about Jesus. I understand what Jesus said

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, 

for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

-Matthew 19:14 (NIV)

Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those children whom has a pure heart, a heart that's undivided, a heart that's only for Jesus.
