ARE THEY GREAT JOY OR GEAT BITTERNESS?

O, for more agonizing prayers on their behalf while they are yet babes! Sin is there, let our prayers begin to attack it. our cries for our offsprings should precede those cries which betoken their actual advent into the world of sin. 

Despairingly the poor disappointed faher turned to the Master, his son was in the worst condition, and in all means had failed, but the miserable child was delivered from the evil one. "Bring him unto me," says the Lord. Children are precious gift from God, but much anxiety comes with them, they may be a great joy or a great bitterness to their parents; they can be filled with the Spirit of God or possessed with the evil spirit.

One thing which can cure all of their ills, is to bring them unto the Lord. In the days of their youth we see sad tokens of that dumb and deaf spirit, which will neither pray aright, nor hear the voice of God in their soul, but still the command from the Master says,"Bring them unto me," 

When they are grown they may wallow in sin and foam with enmity against God; and also when our hearts as parents are broken, we should remember the great words of our great physician,"Bring them unto me". Never cease to pray antil something happen if you are going through hard time with your children.

No case is hopeless while the Lord Jesus Christ lives. 'And you parents, provoke not your children to wrath; but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord:', "Weep not for me", Jesus said, "but weep for yourselves, and for your children".

What a joy, when we see our children walking according to the will of God, and when they obey us as their parents, it gives us strenth and great joy in our life,also it is a great blessing to us, it is wonderful. Whatever our mouning's need, may be, it like a strong current bear  us to the ocean of love.

The Lord sometimes suffer His people to be driven into a corner that they may experimentally know how necessary He is in their lives. The Lord Jesus can remove our sorrows, only when will bring our children unto Him, He delights to comfort us. Let us hasten to Him while He waits to meet our needs.
