A Child Is a Terrible Thing To Waste

it's so important to encourage our youth and let them know that we care for it's a terrible thing to waste a child especially one that you reared our children are our future, they're our living legacy so be careful how you raise them up from their infancy a child is a terrible thing to waste and this God understands for the children are the continuous message for the foundation of modern man so bring them before the Lord and tell them Jesus Christ is their Savior love them, praise them and be circumspect especially with your own behavior let them know that Jesus died so that they could have strength, faith and hope let them know that His sacrifice will give them the means to cope yet there are parents who raise their children by only providing material things but the material things of this world will not cover everything the only thing that a child can hold on to is love, hope and faith so introduce them to the Lord Jesus Christ before it's too late in the Bible some leaders in the church of the children they seemed to discourage but to be a true disciple of Christ the Holy Spirit in them you should encourage are you one who pushes a child towards greatness and their true destiny? or are you a hindrance in a child's life denying them God's ministry? the church should be a place of comfort, of prayer and a haven of peace so don't push them out into the world where they'll become products of the street where dreams are shattered, hope is crushed and belief is a liability for it's a terrible thing to waste a child, the core of mankind's continuity so call to remembrance the roots of faith that have always upheld your family tree pass the baton of hope and belief onto your future progeny don't disqualify them from the race in this journey we call life equip them with the necessary tools they'll need to become servants of the Lord Christ open the doors to their hearts and put a spark in them teach them the ways of Christ for it will sustain them in the end it's a terrible thing to waste a child so give them love, support and concern raise them up in the ways of God and to the streets they will never turn
