Children Are A Miracle

-

"Children are a heritage from the Lord ,
offspring a reward from him."
Psalm 127:3

Lord, how can I thank you enough for my children? I know, I know--I complain enough about them and scold them too much, but I am really and truly grateful that you honored us by giving them to our home.  When I was single, I guess I knew in theory that “Children are a heritage from the Lord." (Psalm 127:3)   But the reality is far more amazing. The nine months of wonder as a new life grew . . . the incredible process of childbirth . . . the first cries and first cuddles--Lord, how can anyone who has seen the drama in a birthing room stay an atheist?  My children are a heritage. They are a reward from you--help me always see them in that way. Thank you for their laughter, their foolishness, their innocence, their questions, their energy, and the amazing things that come out of their mouths.  Today I rededicate them to you. You designed and fashioned them, Father. Lord Jesus, you redeemed them. Spirit, you live in them. Keep them yours now and always. Keep their guardian angels on duty, as you have promised. Help them grow into adults who will find joy in serving you and building your kingdom. Lord, thank you for my miracle children. Amen, God bless

“First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”  Mark 7:27

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Allah menciptakan manusia itu menurut gambaran-Nya, menurut gambaran Allah diciptakan-Nya dia, laki-laki dan perempuan diciptakan-Nya mereka" (Kejadian 1:27) Pada dasarnya secara alamiah kita memiliki jati diri yang secara naluriah terbentuk dan membentuk kita menjadi seseorang dan bukan menjadi atau mengikuti jati diri orang lain, terbentuk menjadi seseorang yang memiliki kejujuran, memiliki bentukan karakter tersendiri dengan ciri khasnya, memiliki integritas yang tinggi, memiliki keyakinan baik terhadap kemampuan diri maupun khususnya terhadap Sang Pencipta, memiliki kasih di dalam hatinya dan tentunya yang tidak kalah penting adalah adanya kesetiaan dalam dirinya, walaupun terkadang kesemuanya ini disamarkan, seolah-olahtidak mereka miliki, dan terbentuk seolah-olah mereka mengabaikan hal ini dalam bentukan yang mereka anggap sesuai dengan diri mereka sendiri,
