I used to say the same kind of thing. Our children are of course precious to us...they are the most precious people in our lives.<br /><br /> But then I realized that to know and experience the true depth of love that can be found in God is to love God above all things, and through that love, we can love our children in deeper and even more full ways than we could have even imagined, when before we did not put God first. <br /><br />These things won't make sense unless you come from the perspective of a heart regenerated through God's love and spirit. I don't blame you if you don't agree..there was a time when I wouldn't have agreed myself..but it's what I've found to be true. God's love is infinte, if we, through embracing Him first, can get a glimpse of that infinte love and embrace our children with it..that kind of love far exceeds the kind of love that is experienced without God being involved. <br /><br />~abundant blessingsJessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-45968204359108997062010-12-17T07:56:37.127-08:002010-12-17T07:56:37.127-08:00Wow!

As, it is in them who will represent you now and in the future, be Christ like to those around you not devoted to a book! It is you that can be God it is you that is God. <br /><br />The bible is there as a lesson a lesson for us to see and hear and compare, it is not verbatim what we should do! <br /><br />Love your children more than God and that is what God wants!!!!<br /><br />Cheers and peacealejandro guzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444725035058665346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-84007273299892764142010-12-17T07:40:13.217-08:002010-12-17T07:40:13.217-08:00Hi Alejandro, thankyou for your comment :)
I agre...Hi Alejandro, thankyou for your comment :)<br /><br />I agree...reading is awesome! I love it too :) I'll read just about anything.<br /><br />When it comes to the Bible..I think even nonchristians can get a lot out of it. The Old Testament and New Testament are full of intriguing stories...though...as a Christian, when it comes to looking to the Bible for guidance, in seeking God's truths and insights and a glimpse of insight into the depths of His character and experiencing His presence...then oftentimes it's helpful to, out of reverence towards God's Word, set aside the Bible as something sacred and distinctly different than the other things we read. <br /><br />When it comes to what I let my kids read-I think it's important to raise well rounded children and children that have broad perspectives. It's important to think outside the box and also see views from different sides so we can understand others better. So, I think the sky is the limit as to what they read. I'm not a big fan of censorship :) Obviously, I wouldn't recommend my children , as they get older, reading anything profane, but when it comes to reading other religious works from other religions, or books regarding various philosophies, I'd encourage them to do so. Hopefully I have helped build a strong foundation for them in understanding the Bible as God's Word and helped encourage them at that point to make a committment in following Christ..but ultimately the choice lies with them. And they know my love for them is unconditional.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the post. I haven't gotten to read your blog yet but am following and look forward to reading your articles. They are relevant, for I stay home with my kids too! Can't wait to read your stories :)<br /><br />~blessingsJessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-62930686438323556482010-12-17T06:10:02.070-08:002010-12-17T06:10:02.070-08:00I find reading as a way to escape this world no ma...I find reading as a way to escape this world no matter what it is it is a time to be somewhere else and it can be fulfilling, enlightening, thrilling!<br /><br />It is also with the Bible a place to explore and enjoy a good read. Whether you believe or not? It is a great Book. I say one thing don't let your children just know one book as all books give an insight to our human nature and then they will decide where their road leads them.<br /><br />Love the post and I hope this gets approved.
