Life through the eyes of a child…it is simple…it is grounded in love and it is all about trust. What happens to those views as the child grows? What causes the worry, the stress and the lack of trust?
Many times it will be dependent upon parenting (or lack of), value systems and a solid foundation in God and Jesus Christ. As we help create a strong bond and establish a heart for God’s commands; all the while investing time and positive energy we show our children our faithfulness to God.
Jesus came to serve not to be served; therefore our purposes are no less than His. We are here to serve our children with the knowledge and love of Jesus. We are to instill the values of God and guard against world views and the corruption of society.
As we give our children the strength to go against negative peer pressure, to stand tall in the face of doubt and to walk strong with Jesus then we have put the armor of God around them. The child then knows he/she is not without the power of God living in their hearts. They are protected!
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Being a parent is like finding a rare gem when we are blessed with children…let’s engrave God’s love on their hearts.
Smiles & Blessings,
