Poetry
It would be a nigh impossible task for me to confess just the mistakes in child training I have made.
I also must confess that I have been much better equipped than most of Gods children to make a desirable grade.
I would like to exhort others by my failures, to examine their own situation to make sure it is under their control.
The stakes are set very high, for losing in this one area could cost your children their soul.
When children are really small it is much too easy to let bad habits go, reasoning that I’ll catch this later with a diligent hand.
Seemingly insignificant traits can grow very quickly into looming giants towering far above you one day they’ll stand.
Maybe you have a sympathetic spirit, pampering your child, or children as though they have suffered great wrong.
If so then miserable will be the words to your verses one day once you have completed writing your song.
It is possible to view simple acts of disobedience as so cute that you and those you love dote over the child and just laugh.
However a disobedient spirit is repulsive to a holy God, thus these cute simple acts can one day bring on Gods wrath.
It could be you choose to be a friend to your child instead of what God called you to be a trainer in his nurture and admonition.
If you choose this how can you know your children won’t expect the same from God when tempted with earthly abominations.
Another area worthy of mention is being so earthly minded our children can’t be satisfied without the best this world offers.
When we see the fruit of our actions and try to steer them away won’t they remind us that this is what we lifelong proffered?
I’m not in the least trying to appear as though I’ve already apprehended, no in actuality in all these points I’ve often stumbled.
I now bear in my broken body the fruit that I nurtured along as mine were small children, and have caused me to be very humbled.
Seeking now to strengthen what remains that is left, for God leaves me not without hope, his tender mercies are fresh every day.
Today or tomorrow might be the day when the Lord reaches down in mercy and offers deliverance is what I now pray.
As long as this earth remains in its present course with the sun rising in the morning and setting in the night.
Then I have reason to believe that God has purposed to bless me once again and offer deliverance in his marvelous light.
Those of you that still have children that are small take opportunity you have available to be what God has called on you to be.
That simply is a parent, and I believe that we all know that you will have no regrets for training your children responsibly.
