The Children…

Posted on by Marla
Tiny fingers reach out to touch
The face of mommy and daddy…
Taking baby steps they learn to walk; mimicking voices they learn to talk…
Most wanted, but many rejected, who will care for those neglected?
God bless the ones with loving parents, cozy and safe, secure in their homes…
While others are cast aside to roam, perilous streets…preyed upon by perverts and derelicts in shadows where they meet…
Then there are the children, destroyed from the womb…
Torn from their mother’s quiet unruly rooms…
Weeping for those who cannot save themselves…
Broken cisterns, empty wells…
Evil, corrupting, filling hell…
Angel of death soon will tell…
For who the bell tolls…heads are gonna roll…
Who will pray for our children? Who will protect our future generations? Each child holds within its being, hope for the nations…
It’s said it takes a village to raise just one small child…
Who is willing to take the walk with them for just one mile…?
Teaching them and guiding them until they’re safely grown…?
You see, children are our heritage…that life continues on…
More important than wealth, or material gain, more precious than glory or obtaining fame…Children are God’s way of saying…life will remain…
We are guardians, stewards, parents; it is a high calling, not to be taken lightly
By blood or by adoption the call is without option…
We must step up and understand…Children are God’s plan…
God is watching and God is waiting to see what we will do…
God is looking for those people, who…
Will save the little children…
If Jesus took the time to pray, for those little children along His way
Then we are called to let them come to Him…for Heaven’s Kingdom belongs to them.
Save the little children…for one day they will be women and men and who knows
One of them may be the very one, to save us in the end…

Matthew 19:14 International Children’s Bible (ICB) But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like these children.”
Psalm 127:3-5 New International Version (NIV) Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
