主内列位同道及朋友们平安：
为小孩祝福在太十九：12～15及路十八：15～17都有记载。有人带着孩子来求耶稣祝福，门徒就责备他们，叫他们离开，主禁止门徒的行动并向他们指示在上帝国的人正像小孩子一样的特征。在主耶稣的心目中，带领小孩子来亲近他，是十分重要的事。小孩的特征是天真无伪，谦卑顺服，诚恳信靠，这是小孩子的天性。主爱小孩，主为他们祝福。
神说：「行跪诈的，必不得住在我家里，说谎话的，必不得立在我面前。」（诗101：7）行诡诈的，说谎话的，都不能住在我的家里，站在我面前。主吩咐门徒把孩子带到他面前，主称赞孩童，可见孩童的心无诡诈，由我们日常生活就可以发现孩童的诚实无伪，不怀诡诈的心。保罗说：「在恶上作小孩子」（林前十四：20），意思就是叫我们不要作恶，好像孩子不会作恶一样。孩子打架，过后忘得一干而净，他们不会将此事怀恨在心，或私下计意行跪诈的事来对付别人，这是孩子的长处。
神为「信望爱聚会」预备一个9岁的小女孩本主日从印尼巴淡岛来与大家见面，她的名字叫爱莉莎。除见证外，也要唱5，6首诗歌给大家听，愿神藉着小女孩众人不仅听到歌声，也记得保罗所说的一句话，「不可叫人小看你年轻，总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心、清洁上，都作信徒的榜样。」（提前四：12） 。
本主日请你带亲友，还有小孩出席聚会，同沐主恩。 敬祝

Dear fellow believers and friends
Peace!
Matthew 19: 12-15 and Luke 18: 15-17 recorded the blessing bestowed to children. Someone brought the children to be blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ but His disciples forbade them and asked them to leave. The Lord stopped them and asked them to be brought to Him for the kingdom of God is meant for little children like themselves. In the eyes of the Lord, bringing little children to Him is of utmost importance. The Lord loved little children and blessed them because of their naïve, humility, obedience and dependency.
Psalm 101: 7 states that “No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.” Those who practices deceits and tell lies cannot come to His house and stand before Him. The Lord commanded his disciples to bring Him the little children and praise them. From here we can see the innocence of the little children. From our daily lives, we can see the children pseudo-honesty and not cunning deceits. Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:20 said “In regards to evil, be infant”, meaning not to do evil, or unscrupulous towards others.
This Sunday, God has prepared a 9 years old little girl called Elisa. She is from Batam Island, Indonesia. She will give a testimony, sing 5 or 6 songs. May the Lord use this little girl to remind the audience not only appreciate her singing but also what Paul said in 1 Timothy 4:12 “Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”.
This Sunday, do remember to invite your relatives and little children to attend the service and be soaked in His blessings.
