Holy Bible Online 
God, in His infinite goodness, demonstrates His immeasurable love for all children, a love that transcends time and human understanding.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus declared: "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). This statement highlights the importance and value of children in the Kingdom of God. They possess a pure faith and innocence that God deeply cherishes.
Psalm 127:3 reminds us that "children are a heritage from the Lord, a reward from Him." This promise not only assures us that God entrusts us, as parents and caregivers, with the task of caring for His precious creation, but also that He Himself is constantly watching over and guiding each step of the children in His love.
We are called to emulate God's heart in our relationship with children. We must teach them the Scriptures, modeling the principles of God's Kingdom from an early age, as Proverbs 22:6 reminds us. By doing so, we contribute to their growth in faith, wisdom, and love for God.
In the examples of biblical characters such as Joseph, Samuel, and David, we see that God not only loves children but also empowers them to play significant roles in His plans. Therefore, let us recognize and celebrate God's love for children, teaching them the truth and guiding them to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
