Mark 9: 36
... Taking the Child into his arms ...
I see myself as that Child was, with my Lord taking me into His arms, curling up in His lap. He is my Good Shepherd and I am His little wounded lamb that He carries in His arms.
One day He will return, and I will no longer be this little child that I am now, but I will then attain adulthood in His family and rule with Him on His throne, the "family business."
Until then I am still learning of Him, depending on Him, and trusting Him to finish the work He began in me.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
