Abandoned

There never seems to be an end to the rotten behavior of “so-called” parents. I am really of a mind that there need to be some “requirements” before one can bring children into this World. I have no idea how that could be done – or why it should be needed except for the fallen nature of mankind.

Hospitals routinely deal with the abuse heaped on children, up to and including the taking of their lives. Severe penalty ought always to follow. I can’t imagine an angry father throwing a child overboard from a boat, or a distraught mother placing her baby in scalding water. The mentality of such actions escapes me.

Even when there is the alleged attempt to put the child in a better position, we must examine the motives with a clear eye toward the damage inflicted  –

According to ABC News: When Steven Cross’ 11-year-old son woke up one morning last month, he found a tear drenched note from his father. The note told the Lakeville, Minn., boy that his father was abandoning him.

If only we could llove our children as God lloves His. Ever caring, giving, providing, supporting, leading, and lavishing infinite llove, He has promised – “I will never leave you or forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

Now that’s a Truth we can embrace and find practically applicable to our parental responsibilities.
