BIBLE VERSES ABOUT CHILDREN

Children are a blessing from the Lord. They are a gift, and we should cherish them as such. 

Our children are not our own. They belong to God, and we must raise them accordingly. This means teaching them and bringing them to the realisation of the spiritual, Natural and physical laws in relevance to God the heavenly Father, and instilling in them moral values that will help them grow into responsible adults. 

Lastly, we need to remember that we ourselves are also children of God. As such, we have many of the same rights and responsibilities as our earthly children do. We are loved by God unconditionally, and we have a duty to live our lives in a way that pleases him. 

The following Bible verses about children are a wonderful reminder of God's love not the little ones alone but for all of us as his children, Yahweh God has enormous blessings He bestows upon His children.

No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.

A Prayer for Children

Dear heavenly Father, we thank you for the blessing of children. They are a precious gift from you, and we know that you have a special love for them. We pray that you would protect them and keep them safe from harm. Guide them and help them to grow in wisdom and grace.
