Every Child Is Your Child.

To see the clear picture click here.
    I read on the Internet the other day about a little girl child that was badly burnt by her caretaker for peeing on the bed. The woman made this little girl to sit on a burning hot plate.  I can't believe a woman, a supposed mother can do this to a child.  Apparently, the little girl was a house girl to this woman. The story pierced my heart with so much sorrow and sadness. However, it got me thinking about our world and how bad some things seem to be.  I also thought how the bad things in this world are being perpetuated by people.  The murderers, the robbers, rapist, prostitutes etc. Every bad thing we hear and see are done by people. These people were once children, children that were supposed to be raised right.   The Bible said, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. 

     I believe that if we raise our children right, instill proper discipline in them with love, introduce them to the love of God in Christ Jesus, that our children will turn out to be good people.  Every child is your child, that little house boy or girl you are maltreating will one day grow up and perhaps become a menace to the society.  Meaning, even you and your children will not be safe from him or her.  Invest love in a child today, whether he or she is your child or not.  Pay attention to them, show them love, encourage them, build them up, show them the right way and let God handle the rest.

  1. In Matthew 19:14 (KJV) Jesus said, "...Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven". Jesus has spoken and his words were clear. Children look to adults for guidance and protection not for abuse. From that story, that I have also read, the action of the alleged lady is an act of terrorism. There is also clear signs that this lady is suffering from some psychiatric problems. Whatever we do in life has some kind of consequence later. This alleged lady could also be a victim of child abuse. Notwithstanding, that point is in no way defending such cruel act. I hope the authorities make sure that for whatever punishment she will serve, that they not only punished her but find her psychiatric help and give her counselling.
