A KITTEN, a string and a little boy or girl. You all know what fun that means. Many of you could tell stories about kittens you have had or seen. They are very interesting little creatures and make good playmates for children.
In our picture all the children look happy as they watch the kittens. Even the kind mother is interested in their play.
Do you think any of these children would hurt the kitten? Do you think, they would hurt each other? Hardly. They have kind faces and seem to enjoy playing peaceably together.
If you were asked whether the Lord Jesus would rather see children quarrel, or play peaceably together, you would certainly all give the same answer, for you know very well that quarreling is not nice nor right.
Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9.
God loves peace not trouble. If we are like Him, as His children ought to be, we, too, will love peace and will want to be peacemakers.
Don’t you think this will please God? “EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO ALSO DO YE.” Col. 3:13
