Hope for Children

For many years, I have been very sad about my two grown children. Neither of them has chosen to live for the Lord despite growing up in a Christian home. One even attended Christian schools. God entrusted me to raise them to love Him. As a mother, I feel like I’ve let the Lord down. A fellow student brought up a well known verse that says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6. The passage has given me comfort and my hope is renewed. Sometimes it takes a reminder such as this to provide the much needed peace. I continue to pray for my children and their salvation.
