"Love the unloved."
Jesus' love for children, in an age when they weren't highly regarded, is a powerful reminder of God's love for the worlds often abused or abandons. We are called to love the unloved, the forgotten, the abused and neglected. Why? Because that is what Israel was in Egypt and that is what Jesus was at Calvary and that is what we were without grace ( Romans 5:6-11 ). How can we claim to know salvation and not share it with others who need that grace!?
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
