Del Parson’s Perfect Love: Christ Embracing Children

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus invites us to “suffer the little children to come unto me”, showing the importance of innocence, trust, and curiosity in our lives. Del Parson’s Perfect Love brings this teaching to life, capturing the quiet, tender moments between Christ and children.

Christ’s Embrace in Perfect Love

In this touching painting, Christ smiles warmly, His arms open to welcome children. A little boy kneels at His side, gazing up with awe, while a girl on the other side looks at Him with joy. Another child meets His eyes directly, fully engaged, and yet another sits close, quietly comforted by His presence. Each child reflects innocence and openness, reminding us of the sacred bond Christ cherishes with every one of His children. You are His child!

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught, “We can choose to love as He loves, to forgive as He forgives, and to care as He cares.” Perfect Love captures that same spirit - love expressed in the small, everyday moments that shape a child’s heart and understanding of the Savior.

Reflection and Inspiration

Looking at Perfect Love encourages quiet reflection: how do we embrace and nurture those around us with patience, kindness, and Christlike love? Each glance, gesture, and word of care is an opportunity to mirror the love of the Savior. The painting reminds us that our actions, big or small, can help children feel seen, valued, and secure in their faith.
