Psalms 127:3 (KJV) Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Children are the heirs of the Lord God. God owns all children. Parents are only caretakers. We are all the children of the most high. He owns all of us. We are his heritage. The children that God has given to us belong unto Him. Taking care of the children is our responsibility. We must do this to make the heart of God happy. God is not pleased when he sees children corruptly living wasteful lives in the society. God does not want our children to be far from Him. He wants us to train our children to follow His footsteps.
Philippians 4:4-7 (KJV) Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Depression comes when children are not trained to follow the teachings of God. Obedience to God's will and listening to what God teaches us from the Bible help in making our lives meaningful. We should not allow our children to drip into depression by not teaching them the ways of God. When a child gets exposed to the issues of life unprepared, he or she can be overwhelmed with depression. We do know that depression is deadly, so we should teach our children to avoid the things that will hurt their lives.
