Daily Devotion (English) – 23.07.2023 (Kids Special)

 

Birthday gift

 

"Blessed are the merciful; they shall obtain mercy" - Matthew 5:7

 

Hello cuties, how happy you feel on your birthday! You will buy a new dress, cake, chocolate and celebrate happily.

 

Similarly, a king's birthday came. He decided release a prisoner on his birthday. But the only confusion was whom to release. The minister gave an idea. The king was satisfied with that. Accordingly, the minister said I have brought a stamp slip for every person which is in this box, the king is going to release all the prisoners with slip this evening. Each of you pick a slip and by showing this seal slip you will be released.

 

As the minister said, all the prisoners came with stamp tickets. One person did not come. The king ordered to bring him. Immediately the prisoner was brought and placed before the king. The king asked’ where is your slip?”. When the minister brought the stamp slip to the prisoner there was not enough but one less. One man was just standing there that he didn't have the slip. He told me “He has a family and elderly parents”. That's why I gave him my slip. So kindly forgive me. On hearing this the king said, “You are the best, so kind, you should not be in jail.” So, I am going to release you. My heart is filled with joy by your character, so I wish to do something. He sat on the throne asking, “what is your wish?” The prisoner replied, “Do not release me but release him”. That will be the gift for me. The king's heart was overwhelmed with joy. At once the king said OK, I will release him. But he said you cannot be released from this prison. Everyone was shocked to hear this. Then the king promoted the prisoner as an officer of the prison. He celebrated his birthday happily by saying, if you are an officer of the jail, many people will be converted like you.

 

Little brother and sister, this is the kind of kindness that Jesus expects from you. Will you become like that?

- Mrs. Sarah Subhash
