THE BLESSING OF CHILDREN.
The timeless and practical truth is that children are a profound gift, bringing deep purpose, transformation, and joy into our lives. Across cultures, spiritual paths, and everyday life, children are celebrated not as burdens or obligations, but as irreplaceable treasures to be nurtured with care. Their innocence is amazing until their environment influences them otherwise, or really love them enough to guide them right with love and wisdom in line with God's Word, the Bible.

If you refuse to discipline (correct, guide and be a good, humble, respectful, diligent, wise, loving and godly example for) your children, it proves you don't love them; if you love your children, you will be prompt to discipline and guide them on the right path early. Proverbs 13:24.

1. Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
(Psalm 127:3-5).

2. All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children. (Isaiah 54:13).

3. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5).

4. At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:1-3).

5. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth (3 John 1:4).

6. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:16).

7. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” (Mark 9:37)

8. When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world (John 16:21).

9. See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 18:10).

10. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).

11. "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:6:

12. Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents],
Even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

WHEN WE TRAIN CHILDREN AND YOUTHS, WE WON'T HAVE TO FIX ADULTS!

Hallelujah!
