Today as I was scrolling through my social media page, I came across a video of a man neglecting to comfort a baby. While the infant is screaming and crying for some attention, this individual left the child to crawl on his/her hands and knees around and around, following him and he never once made an attempt to pick up the infant and comfort the child. This had me so hurt, I felt pain instantly, I was heartbroken💔, I cryed😢.  So many people neglect to realize the beauty and joy of having a child/baby in your life. These children are just innocent souls trying to get happiness, comfort, love from us adults. They were not asked to come into this world, we adults made it happen, because we value pleasure more than a life and we then abandon the child, instead of owning up to your responsibility.

Child abandonment occurs when a parent, guardian, or person in charge of a child either deserts a child without any regard for the child’s physical health, safety or welfare and with the intention of wholly abandoning the child, or in some instances, fails to provide necessary care for a child living under their roof. Child abandonment can be physical abandonment and some extreme cases of emotional abandonment.

The abandonment of children is an extreme form of child neglect stemming from many causes. Some include family break down, irresponsible fatherhood or motherhood, birth out of wedlock, or the death of one or both parents. The problem is not new, what is new rather is the growing scale of the problem. Problems children face in child neglect includes; trouble sleeping, crying a lot, aggression, deep anger, resentment, feeling of betrayal, difficulty concentrating, chronic fatigue and problems at school or with friends.

Child abandonment is mostly in the form of exposing newborn babies either in the wilderness or public places where they could be noticed. A classic example from the Bible is MOSES, rescued by Pharoah’s daughter.

Children are always a blessing! They are filled with such joy and laughter. Children are so fragile from the beginning, motivating us to protect them and nurture them. God speaks directly to Mothers and Fathers in his Word! These wonderful little ones are beautiful, full of happiness and are radiant bright lights in this world of darkness. No matter where you are in the world, or what your background is, children are a gift from God. They are OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS. Children remind us to live more, trust more, laugh more, and seek the love of our Heavenly Father more. God calls us his children, because the love of a child is so precious and fragile, that we should protect it and defend it.

Children need to be loved, nurtured and cared for, every child deserves a chance. They are just innocent souls.

Psalms 127:3 says ” children are a gift from God, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

What are you going to do with the time you have left? If you dont reposition yourself, you could miss the best time of your life, in this season of your life.

• We have got to change the way we think…
• We have got to change the way we function…
• We have got to change the way we deal with issues…

The reason you have to deposition the way you think and the way you function and the way you feel, is that we are many times stuck between the lines of Limited Thinking and Limited People and Limited Ideas and Limited Philosophy and there is something down inside of you says LET THERE BE….

 You need to walk into a situation where you’ve been locked up and tied up and tangled up and say: Let there be light, Let there be healing, Let there be change. You have tried so many different things, each of those things you worked on your own time and then you say to yourself it does not work, but how could you be working on your own time, of course it wouldn’t work, you did not stick to it, you did not fight for it, you did not work hard enough, GOD has his own timing. Instead of getting it right and working harder, you move away for it and try something else, and for so many years in your life you have been from one to the next to the next and to the next. Putting off everything, not finishing, not reaching to the finish line. You need to STOP; STAND STILL. You got to have the courage to live with the pressure, the criticism, you have to be tough to be able to with stand.

NEW LEVELS BRING NEW DEVILS

It’s tough keeping your family encouraged, while you are worried to death yourself. It’s tough being able to get the bills paid without getting disconnected. It’s tough loving somebody all your life and then have to loose them, yes it’s tough. But what do you do with these moment? Do you just have them and do nothing and wait for the next one to come? Are we just habitually addicted to moments without being able to take that moment and use it strategically to do something in our lives. You do not have to accept it the way it is, somewhere down inside of you there is creativity. You have to break out the barriers and limitation in you, and get outside of the box. Something is about to happen good in your life, you’ve got to take it one day at a time and when you get to the end of the day you say: I’m finished, that i’v done everything i was supposed to do for that day, for that time, for that season. Your season is shifting, you will be able to do it now if you have never been able to do it before.

• You haven’t song your best song yet.
• You haven’t preached your best sermon yet.
• You have thought your greatest thought yet.
• You have written down your greatest idea yet.
• You haven’t dreamed your best dream yet.
• You haven’t laughed your best laugh yet.
• You haven’t had your best day yet.

It’s stock somewhere inside of you. You’ve got all sort of stuff locked up in you. Something awesome can happen in your life, dont let anybody tell you that you cannot, or you are to young, or you are to old, or you are not fit. Every day you wake up in the morning remember the best is yet to come. Always say to yourself, this is my moment and I am determined to live it. The mind is a battle ground, the fight is in your mind. Are you ready for the next level? What are you going to do with the time you have left?

Ephesians 5:15-17 says ” Be very careful then, how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish but understand what the Lord’s will is.”

Have you ever been in a tight place and got tired in that tight place? A tight place is a place where you are not where you should be as yet, but you are closer than you were but you are not there yet. And now it’s a challenge to get to the next level. And you are not sure that you got that push that you used to have. Have you ever secretly been in a tight place? Still smiling, surrounded by people who do not realize, they dont have a clue that you’re in a tight place.

• James 1:4 – says ” brethren, when troubles come your way consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”

When life hits you hard and you feel like giving up. Always remember with a positive thinking why you started and remind yourself that everything is going to be alright. Giving up is not an option. When your expectations are delayed, be rest assured that God is in control and he will never leave you or forsake you. Maybe you are heart broken, lonely, facing failures, underestimated by people, helpless, hopeless and everything around seems senseless, you’re on the edge of bankruptcy, you dont have any job or what ever it may be…..STILL YOU MUST SURVIVE THE PAIN…. There is always some way to get out of it. Look around you or within yourself and God will show you.

• Isaiah 41:10 – ” don’t be afraid for i am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

God wants you to know that he is bigger than your problem, he is bigger than you circumstance, he is bigger than your situation, he says “be still, I AM GOD.” He says this is not your battle. He will work it out, all you have to do is ” be still, and know that I AM GOD.” The battle is not yours, it belongs to God. God is going to give the victory if you just believe.

• Psalms 46:10- “Be still and know that I AM GOD.”

• Do you ever regret things that you had done in your past?
• Do you sometimes feel that you could just go back in time and change it all around?
• Do you sometimes wish you had done something different and maybe your life may have been better, easier or more perfect?

Regret is feeling sad or sorry about something that you did or did not do. Regret seems to be a fact of life, the one who got away, the job you didn’t take, the fight you wish you hadn’t had, not making the right choice at times, and the list goes on. There would be something you wish you had done differently.

Instead of looking back, own up to it, whatever happened, happened. Yes, you made the wrong choice, said the wrong thing, went in the wrong direction. Whatever it may be, it’s done, finished, in the past, its over. As humans, we sometimes would make mistakes, we wouldn’t choose wisely and sometimes you don’t have the correct information to help you. Everyone cannot make a perfect decision all the time. Yes it hurts, so cry it out, scream, pound on your bed, get those emotions out ,then let it go.

We all have to learn from our past. Instead of bashing yourself, examine the situation. You can learn a lot from decisions you make and try to understand what went wrong. Note what you need to do differently the next time you have a decision to make.

Make plans to do things you like to do, to help cancel your regrets. Spend time doing extra activities, spend time with close friends and family, Volunteer. If you keep your mind on what you left behind, eventually you will crash. Get your focus in front of you, move forward not backward.

The Bible refers to regret as a way for satan to get inside you mentally. Regret can be devastating, if we dont keep it in check. We should live with no regrets, your reward is coming, and we should look forward for that day. But for those who have not yet repented of their sins, which means that they have never turned away and forsaken them, there is only a fearful expectation of the coming wrath of God (Heb 10:27), that would lead to an ultimate regret for time without end (Rev 20:12-15).

 

2 Timothy 4:7- says “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

Ecclesiastes 5:20- says ” they seldom reflect on the days of their life because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.”

Most of us in society do not really have the slightest clue what is the meaning of support. If we did then there would be more people getting involved in supporting one another. Support is to agree with and give encouragement to someone or something because you want him/her or it to succeed. For instance:

• If you support a team or a player you would go to the match or tournament to watch them play.
• You may help someone emotionally or physically when they need it, they shouldn’t have to ask.
• You may give a person money they need in order to buy food and clothes.
• If there is a protest in your community you would go and match against the problem.
• If someone writes a blog you would like it or make a comment so they would know you have interests in their stories, how could they feel encouraged if you just scroll through and dont really take the time to read it.
• Having the person by your side when things are rocky is a true gift. Emotional support is about helping to lift someone to higher ground so he or she can see their way through the difficulty. Having someone to rely on when the chips are down is one of the best parts in being in a relationship.

One of the ways to help others is to simply share your knowledge. You dont have to be in front of a classroom to teach. Everyday you can find ways of educating someone about something. But you also have to keep educating yourself and gaining more knowledge to help those who need it.

In helping someone we find out what is the most valuable help they need. We may spend time and effort in helping someone with something they didn’t even want help with. Make an effort to ask them what and where they need help and keep it in mind when you see an opportunity to help them.

Time is valuable and most people understand that. When you take time out of your day to help someone they remember it. Helping others isn’t always easy, it can sometimes derail your schedule and cost you time, money and other resources. It can even be interpreted the wrong way. But teaching people, especially children, the importance of supporting, helping, giving to others, whether time money or energy, is one of the most valuable character traits in a Child of GOD.

It dosen’t matter how big or little you have to support,help or give, its the heart in which you do. Be encouraged to make a difference in someone’s life, you never know how a small act of kindness can draw someone closer to God. Christians should consider the interest of others and help those who need the help.

Galatians 6:2- says ” carry each other burdens and in this way you will fulfil the law of christ.”

Hebrews 6:10- says “God is not unjust, he will not forget your work and your love you have shown him as you have help his people and continue to help them.”

We all go through trials in life. We all have our fair share of problems we face. But do we give up? Or do we continue to have faith and trust in God to fulfill our purpose and journey in life. When everything is going great with us we tend to praise God the most, we feel as though we are not giving him enough praise and worship he deserves. But when trials and heartache comes our way, Do we keep thanking him, and praising him, Or do we question him and give him all the complaints we could ever come up with?

We are always in a rush for everything, but God is not in a hurry, he has his time for everything. God has a plan and purpose for everything. God has a time frame for everything, we tend to get discouraged, but we have to be careful how we think because God always has a good reason for making us wait. We do not have control of our lives, God is the one who controls our lives. He is the Almighty God that wakes us up in the morning, provides the air for us to breath, keeps our family safe throughout the day and my list could go on and on about how God has control of our lives. He is the only one that could give life and take it away.

Some of our trials we face are:

• Health issues
• Financial issues
• Spiritual issues
• Job issues
• Family issues
• Marital issues

But do we face these trials alone, or do we ask God for his help? How many of us take the time to wake up in the morning and pray? How many of us take the time to do a fast and prayer when we really need to? Are we tempted to frustrate ourselves day and night and cry ourselves to sleep?

James 1:12- says ” blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”

How many of us spend time speaking to God, telling him your problems, your hurt, your pain, asking him to comfort you and strengthen you. Does your faith and trust in God decrease because of a little trial we face? Do you forget the greatest sacrifice God had done for us to save us from our sins?

John 3:16- says “for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

When you go through trials, it is the best time for you to have the most faith and trust in God. We must thank him everyday for his Grace and Mercy he gives to us even though we do not deserve it. But he gives us because he loves us.

Psalms 86:15- says ” but you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”

When we hold on to God through our thick and thins, whatever we set our minds and heart on God blesses us with it. His work is sure. He will never leave us empty handed. We must remember to thank him for the blessing before it comes. So instead of complaining, think about all the blessing he has given to you already and all the blessings he has in store for you. Every rope has an end, he would not give us more than we could bare. So when we are complaining remember there is somebody suffering more than you. There is somebody who never found God in their life. You have found him, so make sure you dont lose him.

Children should be loved and protected and cared for by society in general. Childrens innocence are their simplicity, their lack of knowledge and their purity. Children are very curious and joyful to be around. They have no seriousness, no meanness and selfishness in their hearts, unless they are thought by adults or see adults doing the act, then they follow what they see.

We as adults are to protect and honour the innocence of children. Parents who do not appreciate their child by loving , caring, protecting and teaching them right values, are often to have regrets in the end. CHILDREN LIVE WHAT THEY SEE. All children are born innocent and pure, like an empty book, which still has to be written in. It is the adults in their life as well as their environment that determines what their life story will be.

Are our children growing up without any dream/goals? Who is responsible for this anger within them, that destroys them like a disease? Whether you are parents or not, we all have a responsibility as adults to act in the best interest of children.

Children need adults who are role models of positive behaviour. You must examine what you do and say around them, kids are good copiers, they copy what we do. Start teaching them good morals and values. They need mentors, even if they are not related to us, we can be a childs mentor. If we don’t, there are others out there who are and will show them and make them feel that connection, but in the wrong ways. When this happens it effects the child negatively for the rest of his/her life. Working with children and spending time with them brings back your inner child in you. You also learn a lot from children. Children see things and ideas in a different way. They see everyone as equals. They see only the good, but we as grown up fail in that aspect, and then poison our innocent childrens mind. Protect and love and care for our children be it yours or not, they are all our children. Do not cause a child to stumble, Do not poison a childs mind, Do not allow a child to be abused. They are our future. Love them. Protect them.

Matthew 18:3,4 – And he said”truly I tell you unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whosoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the London of heaven.”

Sometimes your enemy tries to draw you into a fight that has no purpose in your destiny. Even if you win the fight you will lose the battle, because you are supposed to set your run to heaven, not a fight that wouldn’t benefit your life in the end.

When your enemy comes into your comfort zone attacking you, how do you deal with it?

• Do you become angry and aggrevated?
• Do you think evil thoughts?
• Does negative images come to your mind?

The enemy tries to insight you to riot, he takes advantage of your temper. The next time the enemy strikes – WORSHIP. When you WORSHIP the enemy screams. Some of us are to busy trying to prove how tough we are, not realizing that we can win the battle but lose the war.

There comes a time in your life that you got to be willing to look like you lost and be weak. You got to be willing to walk away.  You have to remember who you are and remember your journey. Your destiny awaits you. What the enemy tries to do is distract you;

• With your pride
• With your temper
• With your anger
• With your frustration
• With your bitterness

But you can survive this. You’ve been rejected before and you’ve been denied before. There is no need for you to allow the enemy to seduce you into destruction, when you have a date with destiny.

Sometimes the smartest thing to do is be humble, hold your peace, sometimes a soft answer turns away wrath. Sometimes it’s good for you to look bad, so you could shine. The Bible says in (1Peter 5:10) ” After you’ve suffered a while, I will establish, strengthen, restore you and make you perfect.”

Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for the mistake for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices, but that doesn’t mean they are bad people, it just means they are human. We are not machines, if we were:-

• Maybe we never will make mistakes
• We will never over react
• We will never make errors
• We will never make judgement

Unfortunately we are human beings not computers😊. We try our best not to make mistakes, but we all make at least 1 mistake a day and sometimes you say, “well nobody is perfect I’m only human”. No one is perfect, everyone makes a mistake, but you should try to learn from that mistake.

It is common to make a mistake, but its how we react and respond to our mistakes, shows our character. Because we are not perfect we feel like beating on ourselves because of the mistake we made. But this is  not healthy for us. Instead of looking at our mistakes as negative, look at them as opportunities.

• Maybe it’s times to move on
• Maybe it’s time to reflect and grow
• Maybe it’s time to be motivated to live your life better
• Maybe it’s time to build your character
• Maybe it’s time to help others grow

Sometimes we do things that we should not have done and you couldn’t believe you did it until realization hits you. We all do stupid things from time to time. No one is perfect. When you make poor judgements, learn all you can from your mistakes then use yourself control to stop thinking about those mistakes.

You should not tumble about in our mistakes. You should not beg, kneel or have false hope, from those who do not want to accept your apology and forgive you. Just move forward. Do not keep replaying the incident in your mind, it will have you beating yourself up. It does not make any sense to try an explain, defend, make excuses or play the blame game. After you apologise genuinely, you do not have to do any more explaining. When you keep trying to explain you just keep the mistake alive.

The word of God says ” no one is perfect”-

• Rom 3:23 – ” for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
• Rom 3:10 –  As it is written: ” none is righteous, no, not one, “
• Mk 10:18 – And Jesus said to him, “why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.”
• Eccle 7:20- “Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.”

You should be courageous to admit you made a mistake, be wise to correct those mistakes and be humble enough to see your faults and apologise. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Despite our failings, we still deserve respect. Do not let anyone put you down when you correct your mistakes. No one is perfect, not one. We all make mistakes.

😇Milz- thank you God for these words…if you found interest in the article you can leave a like or comment below….thanks…

Most people do not have the heart to forgive. Instead they rather  strike back, they want justice for the hurt they felt. They want the other individual to know the pain they inflicted on them. When we forgive we reflect our Fathers love. Forgive as he has forgiven you. Forgiveness helps us to give to others what God has given to us.

Do you remember where you were when he found you? Even though you ignored god, you put him aside to gain the world, in the end when you found him he forgave you.

Do you think that god would be reminding you of your past? No he would not. He said ” he would remember the past no longer”. So do you keep a grudge on someone who did you harm? If you do, then you are not being the righteous person you ought to be.

When we forgive we show that the holy spirit is working in us. When we forgive we remember where he found us and where he has us now. People who refuse to forgive, hurt themselves. Bitter people are not the right people to be around. They deceive you with there smiles, but inside they are bitter.

Forgiveness not only release us physically and emotionally, it also releases us spiritually. An unwillingness to forgive will affect our fellowship with god. Just as gods grace had a transforming effect on you, your extension of that grace can have an effect on others. When we endure and forgive rather than strike back, we open the doorway of grace to someone else.

When we truly forgive, we strive against all thoughts of revenge; we will not think of mischief, instead wish them well, pray for them. Forgiveness has taken place when we seek good for the person. We have to keep forgiving over and over again. Sometimes we forgive but things always remind us of that particular incident, so we have to keep forgiving.  Alot of people say they forgive but there heart is resentful. We often say we forgive but we dont forget, but remember God said “he will remember our sins no longer.”

Luke 17:3,4  – so watch your selves ” if your brother sins rebuke him,  and if he repents forgive him. If he sins against you seven times a day and comes back and repent seven times, forgive him.”
