And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward -Matt. 10:42
Little ones here refers to the disciples and it extends today to all God's children. Jesus said in another scripture if anyone should hurt one of His children it would have been better for that person who hurts that child or caused that child to sin to have a millstone hung around his/her neck and that person drowned in the deepest part of the sea (Matt. 18:6).
A songwriter says, "Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. Red, yellow, black and white, all are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world."
Next time an opportunity arises to show kindness to a "child" old or young, do not hesitate as you may be doing a good deed to an angel (Heb 13:2).
Prayer: Lord help us to be kind and loving to each child in this world. In Jesus name, Amen.
Encouragement: Each time the opportunity arises, jump to it and extend some kindness to a "child."
