Your children were given to you
as a gift from God.
Sure, you have your wife, or your
husband, and you had that child.
Perhaps, you even had many
children.
But why do you think you became
parents?
Because you love each other, and want a child to carry your names?
So your blood line will live on?
So someone will carry on the businesses you built?
So you may live vicariously, through them?
Was it to project your own
ambitions upon your kids?
To create clones of yourself?
To pursue dynasties and propagate
that wealth?
To lead them to life and work,
without Jesus guiding you?
You surely have heard that Jesus
is the Way, the Truth, and the Life:
“Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way,
the
truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.”
John 14:6
King James Version
Of course, you cannot think that
way, unless you have God in your hearts.
You cannot be a reliable and
trusted guide for your children, unless you yourself have accepted Christ as
your SAVIOR.
You also have to become a true
born-again Christian.
There are many Christians, and
there is the true born-again Christian, who desires to serve God alone.
This Christian aims to have
nothing of the world, but only of God.
That is the path I have taken.
There were no bells and whistles,
and worldly rituals, when I chose God.
He led me to two, defining videos
about the destructive path America had taken, and immediately, my soul wanted
the LORD.
I became a born-again Christian a
day before my own birthday.
Thus, I am TWICE born.
And my second birth is the real
birth.
As Christian writer, I attest to the joy and
beauty of serving Christ alone.
All my days are filled with
anticipation of the LORD.
I am child, walking alongside
Jesus, swinging our arms together, my hand in His, happy to be in His presence,
delighting in that Presence, confident in His love, and eager to play, or to
learn.
Oftentimes, I'd sit at His feet, listening to EVERYTHING He had to say.
My relationship with Jesus is as
simple as that.
Child-like.
If you want to be a kind parent,
you must love God with all your heart first.
Only then can you love your child
best.
For God loved you first.
And you returned that love.
Learn to love God first, before
you decide to become a parent.
When you love God first, through
the teachings of Jesus, you will learn to love yourself, and others, in a way that God wants us to love each other.
That’s a great foundation for
love to be born from.
Please don’t bring a child into
this world, unless you have learned to love God first.
All children come from God, and
we must honor each soul.
They are not here to carry our
dynasties, or whatever foolish projections of self, and ambition, we have on
them.
The greatest parents are those
who lead their children back to God, with the full understanding of the Laws of
Christ.
There is great responsibility in
becoming a parent, and our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits must be infused
with the Spirit of God first.
Every citizen of the world came
from such a core family, you and your kids.
That’s how communities, and
nations, are formed.
It all starts with you.
As it did, with Adam and Eve.
