Whatever You Write On the Heart of a Child

~MelissaLeave a comment

Whatever you write on the heart of a child,
no water can wash it away.
The marks in the sands are erased by the tide;
inscriptions will crumble with clay.
The words in a book will decay with the years
and even engraving in stone disappears.
But God’s Word inscribed on a little child’s heart
for time and eternity shall not depart.

Happy the father and mother who can teach their children God’s written Word with illustrations from the open pages of the book of nature; who can gather under the green trees, in the fresh, pure air, to study the Word and to sing the praise of the Father above.

By such associations parents may bind their children to their hearts, and thus to God, by ties that can never be broken.

This Work Pays.

It costs something to bring children up in the way of God.  It costs a mother’s tears and a father’s prayers.  It calls for unflagging effort, for patient instruction, here a little and there a little.  But this work pays.  Parents can thus build around their children bulwarks which will preserve them from the evil that is flooding our world.
