Technically, it ought to be easy
to be a kind son, for, without your parents, you wouldn’t be here.
Sure, some of you say, you wish
you had not been born.
In the midst of your angst and
inner chaos, fed by the destructive spirits not of God, you are made to think
that way.
Whether your parents loved each
other, or loved you, doesn’t really matter, if you were to consider a point I’m
about to say.
Every child of God was born on
earth, for a purpose.
And your job, as a human being,
as a child of God, is to find that purpose.
What does it matter that you find
it near the end of your life?
The important thing is you find
it, and make use of it.
You will be a man, you will marry
maybe, and you will have kids of your own, if you so choose.
But first, choose CHRIST.
In the midst of your heartache,
confusion, or depression, choose Christ.
In the midst of your success, and
happiness, may you remember Christ.
We cannot be truly kind at
anything, unless we have Christ in our hearts first.
If we don’t, then, we are of the
world, the very world that crucified Christ.
It’s either CHRIST, or nothing.
You cannot go around that law to
happiness, and eternal life.
Only with God can you have
everything.
If you feel down, are
disappointed, even disgusted with life, your parents, and others, that’s the
most beautiful and timely moment to listen to the Spirit of God in you.
The Holy Spirit will guide you
back to God, to your real FATHER.
Your parents are your guardians
on earth, and ideally, they also have accepted Christ as their SAVIOR.
If they haven’t, you can expect
trouble.
Only those who have accepted
Christ, will make it easy for others.
They will not cause you harm.
They will always make sure you’re
on the right path.
They’re the ones to go to when
you are lost or confused.
It could be your parents, your
aunts or uncles, your friends, or co-workers – God can be found anywhere, and
everywhere.
Do you really think God would
allow a hair on your head to be harmed?
“But there shall not an hair of your head
perish.”
Luke 21:18
King James Version
Have nothing of the false
promises of the world, whether in life, or in work.
Only have Jesus in your heart, and
He will teach you to be kind.
Kindness, sometimes, is the will
to walk away.
Walk away from those who seek
your destruction.
You are doing them a favor by not
having you as their target.
Walk back to God instead.
And if you are, and have, then
all the better!
You can teach others to be like
you – one who loves the FATHER, your true parent.
But honor your own parents, too.
It is in God’s commandment.
“Honour thy father and thy mother:
that thy
days may be long upon the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”
Exodus 20:12
King James Version
Can you imagine how your mother
carried you in her body, for nine months?
Can you imagine how her life hung
in the balance, as she was giving birth to you?
You didn’t know that, did you?
Can you imagine how your parents
scraped money together – especially if they had none to begin with – just so
you could have food, clothing, shelter, and an education?
Your friends may not be able to
give you that – for the long term.
Your parents have.
It is right that we have
gratitude for our parents, and acknowledge EVERY sacrifice.
Only parents can really sacrifice
the way they do.
You’ll have your turn, when you
become a parent.
You’ll see how it all works.
And, by the GRACE and GUIDANCE of
God, you’ll make a wonderful parent yourself!
For now, face the world in peace,
and walk with God in your heart!
That will give you the grateful
heart you need.
