Children

Everyone loves children. Not only is the mother interested in loving the children, playing with them, taking care of the children, but everyone in the family loves to spend time with the children in all ways. Spending time with the children makes one happy and makes their heart free from stress and burden. This is true in all the families. Whatever the children do and play, we enjoy watching them.

We never restrict the good things from the children. We want them to have all the things that are good and the things that make them happy. But no one will allow anything that will harm the children in anyway and we will not allow others to do any harm to the children also.

But when the same children grow to be young men and young women, we do not see them the same way as we saw them as children, we do not spend time with them as we spent with them when they were children. We do not spend much time to make sure that all things and friends around our sons and daughters are good for them in all the ways. Also when they go to faraway places for their education and job, it becomes impossible to be around them.

The Bible says, “a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Proverbs 29:15”

We see many youngsters whose life is an example for the above bible verse. The reason for this is that though the families of the youngsters met all the needs of them to live a happy life, there was no one to spend time with them to teach them what is good and to be followed and what is bad and not to be followed. Also as it is not always possible for the father and mother to live along with their sons and daughter at all the time, what could be the possible solution for this problem.

The Bible says. “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word. Psalms 119:9”

If we teach the life of Jesus Christ and the ways that He thought us to follow to our sons and daughters from their childhood, the word of God will be with them in the times when we could not be with them in person. The word of God will be a light to their feet and will lead them in the path leading to eternal life.

All the children that we see out there in the world need Jesus Christ to finish their life as victorious men and women. Help them to know the Lord Jesus Christ.

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
