It’s interesting to see how different each generation has changed. When my mother and her siblings were growing up, they were unable to attend school. Some of the reason was due to helping work the cotton fields and to keep up with all the household chores. My grandmother had ten children and unfortunately they were not raised in a loving Christian home. In fact, the “love” word did not exist.
When I think about it breaks my heart. Yet even with that harsh reality, it still makes me wish it was as simple today as it was then, especially when I think about the world today. Some of us hear stories of wonderful memories from our loved ones, but that was not the case for my family. My mother speaks of how they were raised. It was scary for me to thinkthat because of the generational struggle before I was even born, I would grow up and be like my mom or my grandmother. I feared I was going to have their unloving manners and their anger and on and on…
Today I know that’s not true because I made a decision, a choice, to give my life to Christ. And the crazy thing is that even though I was not raised in a Christian home, I just knew there was no way I could do life without Christ. There is no true life without Him.
Our God is the same God today as he was in my mother’s time. The word of God does not change just because the world does. I want to teach my children and their generation how to love. Also, that all the generational curses that have been spoken can be broken. You are not who the world says you are. We are children of the most high! I have a respectable fear and love for my God and I do not want to be a generation that dies without doing God’s will.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go teaching him to seek God‘s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents even when he is old he will not depart from it.
It is our duty to speak and teach God’s word to all children and all generations that still exist on this earth.
