The Joy of Childhood and God's Love for Children
CHILDREN ARE BLESSINGS
David the Psalmist said: "Children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate." (Psalms 127:3)
This tells us about the relevance of children in our world, the place of children in the society and the corresponding significance in the family.
Therefore, King Solomon will say in the book of Proverbs that you should train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
These gifts of God are those which brings joy. Little wonder He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children.
The scriptures also said that Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, you ordain strength (and establish strongholds) against your enemies. Jesus in the New Testament admonished the people to see that they do not despise one the little ones (for their angels in heaven always seek the face of God.
And they brought young children to Jesus, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 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. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them" (Mark 10)
The love the mother hen has for her chick is so immeasurable that during the period of unfavorable atmospheric conditions, she covers her chicks with her wings and make them enjoy the warmth therein in the time of low temperature. The mother hen sacrifices her life for her chicks by giving everything she has, she ensures that her chicks gains satisfaction first before she begins to consume. This describes the love of the mother hen for the chicks.
It was because of this reason that Isaiah wrote:
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
The book of Matthew gives a clearer picture of how God's sees children and why we must humble ourselves like them.
"And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matt 18:2-6)
Behold the manner of love that the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the Sons and Daughters of God. Hence, we must live in love and inspire others through our positive actions and fraternal living.
Our children learn from the way we live our lives, we must train them in the way of light and love and help them maximize their gifts and talents for the development of our world at large. This is because they are the leaders of tomorrow.
We can educate them with motivational stories like that of Sniff and Scurry. They could participate in good games like Steemchurch Bingo. They mustn't be deprived of right to life, right to education, clothing, shelter and food. The future of crypto is contingent on them. Happiness is key. In conclusion, in Martin's Words "Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you."
Nice post you got Friend. Children are really blessings from God. Truly, if crypto is a life changing movement, our children should be trained to move it forward. Lovely pictures you got too, as well as your nice design. We expect more from you too. PEACE!

Thanks Steemchurch. I look forward to becoming an asset here.
We must as children learn to be humble. The children in this pictures have chosen to participate in preaching the message of salvation. We to must do the same.
Indeed, thanks Apostle.
Jesus talks to us about children or gives his examples to children. They are weak and humble beings, who have nothing, have no ambition, do not know envy, do not seek privileged positions, the child has knowledge of their smallness and weakness. being like them is an indispensable requirement to reach the Kingdom of Heaven, these children who did this will never forget it, surely kept in their memory that a man named Jesus (the son of God) died for our sins and iniquities and most importantly , the Risen One of the Dead and is seated at the right hand of the father is LIVE, it moves me with your publication Thank you

Thanks for your encouragements brother.
God really said that we should leave the small childrens to come to him for heaven is meant for those like that
Behold the manner of love that the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the Sons and Daughters of God.
Children are the heritage of the Lord,the love God has for his children on earth is unconditional right from the start God gave his only begotten son to die for our sins irrespective of what you have done,God's mercy was shown through his love,I could remember many times in the Bible particularly the new testament where were believers referred to as 'my little children'. Children are very delicate and tender as we can attest to they need to be shown love for a blooming relationship between you and them and they also have this style or habit of conjuring attention to captivating much need love and care or affection. There is a path in the Bible that I love so much concerning a wonderful illustration of God's love for mankind it goes like this,its says talking to a man and his child,if your child ask you for bread will you give him a snake or if he asks you a fish will you give him a Scorpion and it concludes like this if you that is man of a wicked heart knows how to take care of your child how much more your Heavenly Father.
Every father will always desire to have a son who will give him the respect and honour he desires and he he will always care and provide for his childreen .
This is the way God takes us when we praise him and honour him in truth and in sprit
God loves us so much.
Even though we don't see how much he loves us.
Great post boss.CHILDREN are the heritage of the kingdom.the prayer of a childre is 10times louder to God thsn adults.
I love the way you tried to des ribe God's love using the chicks mentality.
The love the mother hen has for her chick is so immeasurable that during the period of unfavorable atmospheric conditions, she covers her chicks with her wings and make them enjoy the warmth therein in the time of low temperature. The mother hen sacrifices her life for her chicks by giving everything she has, she ensures that her chicks gains satisfaction first before she begins to consume. This describes the love of the mother hen for the chicks."
Good Job
True, children are one beauty of the world, we all need to have their humble heart for more grace
