Silent Tears Of A Child

(From The Minister's Heart)


When children are born they are a bundle of joy.  They wake up early in the morning to let us know daybreak has come. They stay awake until late at night to let us know they had total control of our day. This time last only a few months then we change their daytime to fit ours.

Around the age of 1 they have already begun to speak, crawl and many times walk, touching or pulling down all things around them. At age 2 they know they want to destroy all the things in the house that we have purchased.

Around age 2,3 they may have learned their ABC's and their numbers. Sometimes this happens earlier for some than others.  For my grandchildren this happened earlier.

At pre-school age our children do not want to leave home and stay with other people and children who are strangers. Their tears are silent as they become troubled. This is normal, because when we, as adults, start a new job we have to adjust to it, a different atmosphere and new people also.

Children are protected from many things during the early stages of life, but once faced with different things other than the all day shelter of a parent, a change in life may seem to be a challenge to them:

1.  College

2. New Job

3. Marriage


Ecclesiastes 12:1

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw night, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;


Proverbs 2:1-5

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice of understanding;

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.


In this day and time all children must be raised in admonition and knowledge of God; and when they are old they will not depart from it.  They will know how to make wise decisions based on the word of God, which is a lamp unto their feet, and a light unto their path, according to Psalm 119:105.


Tears are the release of the pain or joy we feel.  When a child is born his cry-tears- are hear over the house. When they become an adult they may hold their emotion within.  Whether our tears are painful or joyful only God know.


Lets remember to give our children to God when they are born, after all, they belong to Him anyway.  We are only stewards over His possessions- children.


Until we meet again - soon.
