Don’t Look The Other Way

I am a parent. I love my children, I want what is best for my children. I want to know what is going on in all of their lives, I want to know they are happy, they are trying, they are achieving and they are growing. I want to know their strengths, their weaknesses, I want to know what makes them stand up and say NO, what makes them want to cower and go with the crowd. I want to know how I can best meet their needs, teach them to make wise choices and help them become the women and man that God has intended for them.

The world cares not for the well-being of our children, the world cares not for the standards, expectations and direction that God our Father has commanded for our children.
Proverbs 1:10 says, “My son if sinners entice you do not give into them.”
Sinners are enticing our children at every turn and they can spin in circles looking for direction and find none, and when fellow Christians and Christian adults turn a blind eye these same children are left ill equipped, with little to no support and will fall under the weight of the enticement.

The people our children call friends are not looking out for their best interests, the people our children call friends are prone to human failures and weaknesses as well. The people our children call friends may not have the same standards, expectations and direction given to them that our children are blessed with.

The world is a corrupt and evil place and IF WE ARE NOT WILLING to stand up as parents and protect our children, and protect the children of those we love, be them family members, friends or fellow Christians ARE WE NOT FAILING what we have been instructed to do by our heavenly Father. Are we not as bad or worse than those who will blatantly and openly take our children and corrupt them?

Why do we sit quietly by and say to ourselves or to others, “if his parents knew he smokes pot they would be so upset” or “if her parents knew she had a non-christian boyfriend they would not be happy”. But we the adults sit by and do nothing because we are afraid to offend, upset or ‘break a trust’. We are to do what is best for our children and the children of those around us.

How often have we said to our children, “don’t keep secrets that will hurt another person” but we do it to other parents because we feel like we are meddling.

CHRISTIANS IT IS TIME WE STAND UP AND MEDDLE!

Our children are at stake, their futures are at risk. They are bombarded every day on television, radio, magazines, books, and school with issues like sex, violence, do it if it feels good, anti-God teachings and views and beliefs that are directly opposite to what we are trying to instill in them.

If you know my child is doing something he or she should not be doing MEDDLE!! Tell me!! Help me protect my children from the dangers lurking and attacking their hearts and souls.

And know I will MEDDLE and let you know if I have concerns about your children, because I love your child, and I want to see him / her grow up and have a life they can be proud of, and a strong belief system and a solid foundation for the Lord.
