Children are described in Scripture as a gift and a blessing from the Lord, a reward from His hand. This view reminds us of the intrinsic value and purpose that children hold in God’s eyes. Rather than viewing children as burdens, we are encouraged to see them as precious, entrusted to us by the Creator. They are not only a blessing to parents but also to the broader community and to the kingdom of God. Raising children with this perspective transforms the way we approach parenting. Instead of being overwhelmed by the challenges of raising children, we can rejoice in the opportunity to care for these little ones who are entrusted to us. We can view every moment spent with them as a precious opportunity to shape their hearts, guiding them in the ways of the Lord. In this way, parents can find joy and purpose in their roles, knowing they are participating in God’s plan for the next generation.
Psalm 113:9
He makes the barren woman abide in the house as a joyful mother of children.
Acts 2:39
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Psalm 71:5
For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
