“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
When I met Elendie and heard him sing, I was really touched as I could sense the Lord using him. His music was so moving and meaningful and theologically deep. During one of our conversations, he told me he felt like God had called him to use his music to reach children and that he has a ministry with them teaching them to sing. As I reflect back on my initial subconscious thought, I am rebuked and refreshed as that subconscious thought went something like this: “hmmm, with talent like that he should be reaching adults”.

How wrong our thinking can be. How precious is this calling to reach the children with the love, truth and music of God. Elendie recently sent me this recording of him singing a song in P with the children. I assume he wrote it. I assume he just used a cell phone to record it. See if it doesn’t touch your own heart and see if Jesus wasn’t indeed so right when He said, “of such is the kingdom of heaven“. What an amazing time to plant seeds in the hearts of people, when they are children and when they have believing hearts.
The words to the main chorus say, “Father, I so rejoice in you at this time and my Lord Jesus I will see you in heaven“.
