Many, many times, the way we were raised affects us all through
our lives but, because of the Blood of Christ we can break some
very bad traits in ourselves and not perpetuate them to/through
to our children.
A Violent Child
A young and very violent child the world will ask
how could this happen or be,
yet the Bible says a child left to himself will bring
shame upon his whole family.
Our country’s children even though they are not much more
than mere babes left at home alone to fend for themselves,
no parent to lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder for them to lean upon
when on the scene arises many sins for them in which to delve.
These sins appear in many forms
sometimes by a playmate as cute as a child like yours,
causing your precious son or daughter to change
their life’s planned and charted course.
Introducing your child to the deadly things of life
all kinds of drugs, guns and sex,
ultimately causing you such dreadful pain and your
spirit within to feel so horribly vexed.
A parent that is not calling upon God for help
throws up their hands in vain,
and choosing to forget that for the most part they have left this child
open to all sorts of attacks for the greater part of each day.
Now, before it is too late for your little ones, dear parents
I plead with you to spend some time with them,
giving attention, love, care and nurturing
but also using the rod to deliver their young and foolish soul from sin.
Finally and most importantly covering this child from Heaven all through their
life but especially through their teens,
with your prayers and love but most of all
the Blood of Jesus Christ for He is our Victor and King of all Kings.
