Suffer Little Children

A Seed Is Planted

Because a child comes from a broken home for any reason dosen't mean they have to end up as a waisted life.  Lots of children come from a broken home anymore, and they turn out to be some of most respectfull citizens in the community.  There was this one family who's father was a drunk and always beating up on his family and causing problems in the community.  She divorced him while he was in jail and she had to raise her three boys by herself.

She didn't go off the deep end and start drinking.  She didn't bring men home that abused her and the children.  She had enough of that with her husband.  She turned to her family and programs in the community that delt with families like her's.  She even started going to church with her children  where she found the Lord and turned to Him for every need.  She found it was the best thing ever did.  She found peace and love she never knew existed.  She had a new family that she and her children could fellowship with and a pastor who she could talk to that understood where she was coming from.

Psalm 127:1

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.  What we must do is put first things first in our lives. Joshua 24: 14-15 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

 

The Lord our God is everything we want our children to be about.  Jesus loved us so much that he suffered many things for us.  He even gave his life for us so that we could have not only freedom to choose, but so we could also have assurance. Insurance is something we buy incase our children become ill or has an accident and need doctors care; or if we pass away so that our loved ones would have the money to put us away and pay any remaining bills.  Assurance of salvation comes through being "born again": "Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

 

Every parent wants their children to be better off in life than they are in life before they pass on.  Jesus felt the same way, He ask Peater a question before He left to go back home to heaven, He ask Peter if he loved Him three times to get His point across.  Peter must have been as slow as me to take three times to get him to understand.  After He asked the question He said if you do, feed my sheep.

 

If we love our children we will feed them the right things so they will grow to be strong and strait like the tree in our front yard.  No one wants to see their childdren become alcoholics, on drugs or end up in jail or prison.  No one wants to see their children lost when Jesus comes back for His people.  That's why the Lord told Peter to feed his sheep while He was gone.  As a parent, He expects us to feed His children the right things, to plant a seed in them that will grow the strait and not all bent over and crooked.

 

I hope and pray that when I am gone from this life that my children will serve God and feed my grandchildren the right things in life so they will feed my great grandchildren the right things too.  The instruction Book, the Bible, I have mentioned is like a road map.  It will show us, our children, our grandchildren and those after the way through this troubled world to our new home in heaven, but it must start with the parents.

If a child lives in a environment where the parents don't care about anything or anyone, chances are they will feel the same way.  If the man of the house is always fighting with the neighbors over something, chances are that their children will do the same not only at home, but at school and anywhere he may be.  It is OK to defend one's self if need be, but to be a bully and push others around just to fight is wrong.  It will get your child seriously hurt or killed if they jump the wrong person.

I knew this young man at school who was built good.  He lifted waits, exercised a lot and played high school football.  He thought he was tough and no one could beet him.  I remember coming home from the military on leave and talking to someone about school and asking how this one and that one was doing.  I was told that this young man was out on the town on a weekend drinking and showing people how tough he was.  He went in this certain bar, how he got in being under age I don't know, but he was sitting at the bar and he got into it with someone.  This guy was giving him a beating and he ran out of the bar to get away from him.  He started to run down the street but he didn't run to far until the guy jumped him and stabbed him to death with his knife.  What a shame, a young man who could have received a football scholarship to a good collage and made something of himself.  Instead he layed outside a bar stabbed to death and laid in his own blood.

As adults we must realize that everything we do in life affects our children.  As a child grows, boy or girl, patterns their self after their parents or those who care for them.  If we tell our children not to smoke and they see us doing it, what's to make them think it is a bad thing to do?  If we tell them never to drink, use drugs or be careful who they choose for friends and we do these things, what makes us think they won't try it themselves.

We are an open book to our children.  It is our job to be an example to them.  No matter how old or young our children may be, they hang on to everything we say and do.  We are planting a seed in their lives.  It is very important who we pick for a help mate from the very beginning.  Adults need to pick the man or woman they intend to spend their life with very careful.  Not because he is handsome and built good or she is pretty and a shape like Miss America.  You should date for a while, find out each others likes and dislikes, what is important in your lifes and if you want to serve the Lord.
