Sadly Lambs Grow Up - by DianaDee Osborne

PARABLE:
Our children are NOT like "Mary's Little Lamb".
SAD TRUTH: They might NOT follow you to Good Places. .
"You raised them right... They'll change-- they'll be in
Heaven with you.".... a FALSE teaching I've (we've) WISHED true since so
comforting.
But based on MIS-teachings:
Proverbs 22:6 is NOT a PROMISE
from God but a INSTRUCTION with hope:
"Train up a child in the way he
should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it."
This False
Teaching makes parents MORE miserable--
Now many feel Guilty wondering
"what did I do wrong?
Comforting ANSWER to feelings of guilt:
God The Father hasn't convinced most of HIS children to believe Truth about Him, Either ...
(Yet there's HOPE --
See the end ! >>>)
SO WHAT ??
What does LORD God say ??
Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
SO WHAT ??
TRUTH 1 --- God never *steals back* a person's Right to Choose 'it'-- even if it's Evil.
TRUTH 2 --- Jesus's Parable of the seeds was about people hearing Truth & not "growing" it-- incl our children.
TRUTH 3 --- Our Loving God WANTS our children (ALL people) saved & with Him: 2nd Peter 3:9. But He's Holy & eventually will end the time of Grace that was repeatedly Rejected ....
.
TRUTH 4 ---- God Himself proof: NO parent could ever be better than THE Heavenly Father who gave us Life... Yet look at the millions who instinctively know of Him (see Romans 1) yet REJECT Him...
.
AMAZING COMFORT: John 17: 5,20: **Jesus** prays for you>> PERSON-ally!
Even though you're "all grown up". >>
Follow His example: Don't stop praying for your children.., grandchildren,
any children you know--- even after they're Adults.
Satan's not gonna stop trying to grab them.....
.
REMINDER: End of Matthew 23: Jesus Weeps over all who reject Father God... but with all His Power to MAKE them choose Right: He did not. Parents cannot either.
.
======================================================
What does LORD God say ??
John
17:20, JESUS to the Father: "“I do not pray for these alone, but also
for those who WILL believe in Me through their WORD [incl BIBLE];..."
.
Earlier
verse 15 tells part of WHAT Jesus prayed: “I do not pray that You
should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from
the evil one."
Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
Often I don't know what to say to "grown up" children who were once like
LITTLE LAMBS following what they'd heard about You and the TRUTH of Your
love and yearning for them to just believe You.
I pray for James 1:5 wisdom on how to pray & how to talk with them,
whether my own children at any age, or someone else's beloved children grown up.
I pray for the Holy Spirit to help me remember scriptures, as Jesus promised in John 14:26.
I pray for peace when Satan lies to my mind and accuses me of terrible things,
including not doing or saying the right things in Times Now Gone By
that I cannot go back and change. I pray in Your Great Name.
