Causing people to fall

Matthew 18

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away—it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.

Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses will inevitably come, but woe to that person by whom the offense comes. (Matthew 18:6-7)

Lord, may I never cause one of your children to fall away.  I want to bring people closer to you, not drive them away from you.

Lord, guard my every action and word. Let every action and word be for the building up of your children, not their tearing down.

You valued them enough to die for them. Help me to value them the same way you do. Give me your heart for the people you love. In your name I pray, amen.
