When human beings are in a dangerous place where a young child is present, most gather strength and courage to protect and do “whatever” has to happen to find a “safe place.”
Children are a gift to the human race.
“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him” Psalm 127:3.
Gifts.
I’ll speak for myself, my children helped show me I didn’t have patience on unending nights of crying when they were sick or huge messes too gross to write about.
And the hardest part of all, when siblings argued and fought! My children brought me closer to God than I could ever be before.
My children helped me mature and “act” as a grown-up because I had no choice, I was the grown-up!
Yes, children are our help to see our personal need for the Savior of our world. Children bring us to God, our Father, to see Jesus’ great sacrifice for us, and call out for the Holy Spirit to help us, guide us, to fill us with His love.
Children are our gift to realize, that without the Lord, there is no power to love!
Even with the Lord, I struggled at times to find love. I wasn’t a perfect parent, but I always tried to say, “I’m sorry. I was wrong.” And made effort to share–Jesus is perfect love.
God’s Word is our comfort and instruction guide. He never changes. He is faithful always.
“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ ”Matthew 19:14.
The kingdom of heaven belongs to the little children. They are our gift to help bring back the “child” in us. We need the children.
God says, “suffer” the little children, or “let, allow” the little children.
Take a moment to “hear” this child sing God’s Word:
Pray for children. They are every adult on this planet’s, gift. What the world needs now is to agree with God in our hearts about children.
“Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always so that it might go well with them and their children forever!”Deuteronomy 5:29.
“Dear Lord, pour out Your Spirit upon this world and give all people ears to hear the children sing praises to You.
