The child has ceased to be valued in the midst of the society in which we live, it is often because we do not have Christ in our hearts, and to ignore the importance of children before God, the Lord in his word shows us a series of verses where it reflects the importance they have for children.
We have to take into account that the present and the future of the church are the children, this is why we must give them the place they deserve, the respect and love that God asks of them, it will depend on them ahead.
The world recognized the importance of children by granting them duties and rights, more than we are in the ways of God and we see what he shows us in his word
Today I urge you to meditate with me in these beautiful verses:
Children are the perfect gift of God, as part of His inheritance here on earth His Word says.
Psalm 127: 3 Children are an inheritance from the LORD, the fruits of the womb are a reward.
Children are the blessing of parents.
Deuteronomy 28: 4 Blessed are the fruit of your womb, your crops, the young of your livestock, the young calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks
Children yearn for blessing.
Genesis 9: 7 As for you, be fruitful and multiply; yes, multiply and fill the earth.
The child has the ability to learn about the word of God, to do his will and walk in his ways.
Deuteronomy 6: 6-7 6 Record these words in your heart that I am commanding you today. 7 inculcate them continuously to your children. Tell them about them when you are at home and when you go along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
The child can know that obedience allows a life close to God
Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
The children are so valuable to God that He commands them to take care of them.
Matthew 18: 6 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Of the children is the kingdom of God.
Luke 18:16 Let the children come to me, and do not stop them; because of such is the kingdom of God.
Why should we care about children? - If we analyze the verses mentioned above we can see that for God children are really important. He has a special purpose for each one of them. Our task is to take care of you and guide you so that the love of God grows in them and thus God fulfills his purpose.
We also see God's love for them when he does not set them as an example by saying that we have to be like children to enter the kingdom of heaven,
Matthew 18: 3 and said: Truly I say to you, if you do not turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven, that is why today more than ever we must value that little human being, who has great esteem in the eyes of God.
Reflect on this
If all the children could count on loving parents, a loving home and beautiful friends, how amazing their world would be! Unfortunately, there are many who do not enjoy that blessing.
