Hope for the unloved
James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
Luke 18:16 "But Jesus called the children unto him, and said, Love the little children by allowing them to come unto me, and forbid them not: for as such is the kingdom of God."
Are children a gift from God? Are they precious in God’s sight? Does every child have enough value to be loved by a family? This world is taking advantage of children constantly between trafficking, neglecting, abusing, the adrenechrome industry, etc. The world does not want the burden of loving children. Children require hard work because God put a heavy consequence for hurting children.
Matthew 18:6 "But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
Children did not ask to be born. They are not responsible for the traumatic things that happen all the time in this world. God gives children parents. God has given His word to tell parents how to raise the next generation of people, but how many parents actually read and practice the instructions found in scripture for raising children? Children learn by watching adults. My son, Samuel is learning words by just listening to me speak. Even words I did not specifically say to him. The church is reproduced through our actions, not just our words.
I recently heard a story of a pastor's son that was going to jail. The pastor was well known for a book He wrote. The judge asked him why he did not learn from his dad about consequences? The son ended up saying the dad did not have time for the son because He was writing the book. I have to wonder what God's response will be to Christian parents that do not love unconditionally and teach their children and all the children of the world. Of course, Christians will all say we care about children but How are we doing it?
I have seen first hand of Christians say they love children but will show favoritism to blood and hate toward my other children. That is not love. There are 400,000 children in the foster care system and 100,000 ready to be adopted in America if not millions across the world. Literally, Christians could turn the world toward Christ by sacrificially giving hope to the unloved children of the world. If Jesus let the children come to him, why can't we love them too? The church is always so busy with building programs, writing books, getting people in the front door and many good things but how are we showing that we care about the most vulnerable: children that do not have loving parents?
