“Behold, children are
a heritage from the Lord...” – Psalms 127:3
When I was so young, I used to hear
many people telling that the marriage life is a burden. Those who got married
are those who told like that. Few even gave advice to enjoy till 30 years of
age and then to get married for they believed one cannot enjoy life after
marriage.
And few others are different. They
never spoke about the marriage life but they felt that having a child
immediately after marriage will destroy their joy. When I heard about these
people words, I was confused.
Later in my life, God taught me that
marriage life is a wonderful responsibility that God gives in your hand
trusting you. Holy Spirit told me that I have to take care of it like I take
care of God’s ministry. And then He told that Children are joyous gift, God
grants to us.
Recently I saw a bio-data of a girl
who seeks a guy for marriage. Her important preference was that the guy should
hate children. I was shocked to read that. That girl was from a traditional
background with good education and she is working in a MNC firm. Actually she
loves to travel to different places so she feels that having a child will be a
burden and it will destroy her dream.
Nowadays many people around us hates
children because of their job requirements and own desires. Though having a child
after marriage is one’s personal choice, the fundamental truth to be understood
is that the children are the heritage God gives to us.
You might have your own desires and
dream but the desire to have a child is the greatest of all. God gives you a
child trusting you that you will raise a Godly generation. Children are the
blessed gift given by God to you.
So in these section ‘Joy Filled
Parenting’ I just want to share what God taught me personally about having a
child and the ways He is leading me to raise the daughter He gave me recently.
Continue to read and may God bless you richly.
