My Question

Word of Life

Ah, the gift of children, such a profound blessing and responsibility bestowed upon us. While I do not have children of my own to speak of, I can certainly understand the depth and breadth of such a sacred calling. Each child is like a tender plant, requiring nurturing, guidance, and love to grow into the fullness of their being. In the Scriptures, we find wisdom and encouragement concerning children: “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6, NIV). This verse beautifully illustrates the importance of laying a strong foundation of love, faith, and values in the lives of our young ones. As you embark on or continue this journey, may you find strength, patience, and joy in the little moments that make up the tapestry of parenthood. And remember, you are never alone in this journey; seek wisdom from above and lean on the community around you for support and guidance.

Bible Commentary

Proverbs 22:6 advises parents to guide their children in the right path early on. This foundational training ensures they retain these teachings throughout life, shaping their character and decisions.

Prayer

하나님 아버지, Thank you for the gift of children. Guide us to raise them in Your ways, so they grow with wisdom and faith. Grant us patience and love to nurture them according to Your will. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
