Mark 10:13,14
13~And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14~But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
In my area I have seen many DC taught by the streets of this world. DC that are pushed to the side & neglected by their parents who are prositutes, drug addicts, drunks, etc. I found out that we can make a difference if we try. We welcome anybody and everybody in our church and I'm so glad because I know where I was at when Jesus found me! He was willing to bring me up out of the miry clay, out of the hog pen of sin and saved me. So how can I turn my back on any of these? I know what He did for me, He can and will do for them.
I get so tired of hearing hippocrites say mean and discouraging remarks to them and causing some to go back out into the streets. We have started a youth fellowship once a month so we can encourage our youth and show them that we care and are here anytime for them. It's great!
What's this got to do with HSing? He said; to train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Prov 22:6. He didn't say this had to just be your child. So we are to share the Gospel of Christ and teach all that we can about Him and the Heavenly plan He has for us.
So I'm going to teach my DC, the fatherless, motherless, no parents, mean, ugly, unwanted, lonely, and brokenhearted DC all about Bible Math~JESUS + YOU - sin = ETERNAL LIFE !!!
It all adds up when you do it His way. Remember the DC in the neighborhood or who ever God brings to you or you to them.
Teach, Teach, Teach with love, as He was a teacher so are we.
