Our Children

Alright, about to go on a huge rant right now. Over the past just few weeks, between social media and the fact I get Amber Alerts on phone just for the FL area, there seems A LOT going on with babies, children, and teens, either running away/getting lost, being kidnapped, abused in some way, or being killed. I just have to ask myself, WHY? What is going on in this country, the whole world really, but for now let’s just focus on the good old USA.

First off let me just point out, something that shouldn’t even have to be said really. Our children ARE NOT AN ACCESSORY, THEY ARE NOT A BARGAINING CHIP, THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED IN FIGHTS BETWEEN PARENTS, THEY ARE NOT PUNCHING BAGS, THEY NOT A GROUP OF CELLS TO BE KILLED BEFORE THEY TAKE THEIR FIRST BREATH OUTSIDE THE WOMB.

If you are a woman who gets pregnant that life growing in you is indeed a life no matter how tiny he or she might be and if you think taking that life is your right, your choice, know this, one day when you pass through heaven’s gates you won’t just be looking in the eyes of the Creator of that life you ended, you will look into the eyes of that baby. Maybe that child will be able to ask you “why?” Do you want to tell either God or that sweet baby that he or she was a mistake, you were too young, too old, didn’t have the money, just didn’t want him/her, even though there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of married couples that want a child and can’t have them….. If you think you can handle that there is no heart in you.

If you are a man or woman who thinks you have the right to abuse a child or take their life no matter their age or gender you have no love for anyone except yourself. If you can look into their eyes that are scared and hurting and continue your actions against them then there is no heart in you.

We are given the life of a child to hold and protect, to teach and train, to LOVE AND PROTECT, yes I said protect twice. Why, well can they protect themselves, not yet no, and if you take advantage of that you have no heart! If you allow a child they will teach you more then you could ever teach them, they could never change your life for the worse. If you want to feel wanted and loved no one can do that better (besides Christ) than a child. When a child holds your hand, wraps their arms around you for a hug, tells you they love you they are doing so without judgement, without malice. And to think people can take advantage of that love, that innocence….
