BUILDING A SAFE HOME FOR CHILDREN👶

BUILDING A SAFE HOME FOR CHILDREN:

There are numerous discussions about child’s safety which consists of the rights of a child. Kids needs to be protected both physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. But the truth is that most people preach child’s safety but does not practice it which is the reason the world we live today is filled with child’s neglect, abuse, kidnap, molest, rape, blackmail and much more. 

The essential moral values have been decreased in a society that does not promote Biblical teachings. For kids to thrive, they need a safe atmosphere or environment to learn about God and embrace faith. Teaching them the gospel from an early stage will enable them make right decisions growing up and surrounding them with godly role models. Kids thrives more in an environment where they can freely express themselves, ask questions, and getting the desired (biblical) response. 

Engaging kids in prayers, learning God’s Words, worship, serving others will help build their faith in God and it will help them to learn that mistakes are not failures but an opportunity to continue growing. They can easily ask for forgiveness when they did something wrong which will help them experience reconciliation through Christ. Helping the child develop spiritual growth will lead them to experience the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus.

We should not forget that God loves children so much and we can recall in Matthew 18:2–6. (2, so Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them, 3, and said, “I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4, the greatest in the kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child. 5, and whoever welcomes in my name one of such child as this, welcomes me. 6, if anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea).  

Every child is unique, priceless and precious (Psalm 139 : 13 — 16)

In Psalm 10:18 (You will hear the cries of the oppressed and the orphans, You will judge in their favor, so that mortal men may cause terror no more). Psalm 82:3&4 (3, defend the rights of the poor and the orphans, be fair to the needy and the helpless. 4, rescue them from the power of the evil people). Isaiah 1:16&17 (16, wash yourselves clean. Stop all this evil that I see you doing. Yes, stop doing evil 17, and learn to do right. See that justice is done—help those who are oppressed, give orphans their rights and defend the widows). Deuteronomy 27:19 (God’s curse on anyone who deprives foreigners, orphans, and widows of their rights). Proverbs 26:23–24 (23, insincere talks that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot. 24, a hypocrite hides hate behind  flattering words). Proverbs 20:11 (even children show what they are by what they do, you can tell if they are honest and good).

Just as plants need the optimal input of light and nutrients to thrive, children needs safe environments to feel secure. They utterly depend on adults to protect them against harm, abuse and to meet their basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and clothing etc. Children in safe environments builds relationships, always confident and eager to accomplish their potentials.
