Big and Little

Which people is God interested in most? The very important people, like Presidents and Prime Ministers, or the little kids in the Sunday School? Does God spend more time watching over Christian adults, or does He spend the same amount of time on the non-Christian neighbours?

The answer is simple. God puts the same loving care into all people equally. In fact He cares for you as if you were the only person on earth!

Mature Christians sometimes fall into the trap of thinking they are more important because they know the Bible better than kids and new converts. This of course is totally wrong. In any large family there are children of different ages, yet we all know that every child is important to the parents regardless of age.

So when you pray remember that God is listening intently. You might even like to imagine Him leaning over on His throne to hear you, and smiling and pointing proudly to His angels: "That's my child talking to me!"

The Bible says, "Don't worry about anything; but instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers."
Philippians 4:6
