Jesus Doesn't Have A Long Distance Carrier

Sometimes when I go to the preschool to pick up Little Man, I’ll find that his teacher has posted a little note about something cute that happened or was said in the classroom that day or the day before. I love reading about the funny things three year olds come up with – they can be hilarious little people!

When I dropped Little Man off this morning, the note posted on the wall involved Little Man himself, as well as another boy I’ll call Buddy. It apparently happened during play time, and it went something like this:

Little Man (handing a pretend phone to his teacher, Ms. A): “Here Ms. A, it’s your mom.”

Ms. A (who has a great sense of humor): “Well, it must be long distance, because she’s in Heaven!”

Buddy: “Well, that’s not too long for Jesus!”

Amen, little buddy, amen.

I just wanted to share that little story with you today, and use it as a little reminder that nothing – nothing – “neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation” could ever, ever separate us from the love of Jesus (Romans 8:38-39).

May the words said during the play of a couple of funny three year olds remind you of the words of our Father and encourage your heart today. Nothing’s too long for Jesus! Wherever you are, whatever your circumstances today, He’s right there with you, and he’s not going anywhere – you can count on that.
