Women, Let's Chat Again May We?

Within the last week or so Holy Spirit has shifted my thoughts and ideas a bit. I am somewhat uncomfortable with this but I am willing to step out a bit on the edge of the ledge and TRUST Him. You see, Jesus is coming quicker than most people think that are "playing church." I implore you to get your lives straight and right before God so as to not be left behind or worse yet, perish in hell for all eternity. You see, the shift that is occurring in my life right is I have less tolerance for sin than I use to have. What do I mean by that? I would keep quiet on a number of topics/issues so as to not stir the pot or rock the boat so to speak but He just keeps laying this on my heart to stop mincing words and speak direct and forthright. Do I like doing this, not really. I think I have shared with you in the past that I really like giving the "flowery" type of words of encouragement. There seems to be not much time now to just keep giving that kind of message. There seems to be a call for holiness, not weird holiness but sound holiness. Not "religious" holiness either.
Why women are you letting your guard down and just accepting any man into your lives and the lives of your children? You know the wrong man in your life can possibly cost you the most valuable gift of all, your children. Is a man or a moment with a man worth this terrible and great loss? In my eyes the answer is NO. Children are truly a gift given to a husband and wife to treat with respect and teach them and share with them in both their sorrows and happiness. A parent is also called to bring correction to a child too when needed. The correction sometimes hurts you as you are correcting but it really is there for their best interest. So, correct when it is needed but it can still be done with words of concern and care not with harsh and rough words than will destroy their spirit. To be there for them even when you do not feel like being there but you do because they need you.
Do you not grasp this concept? You know there are more people watching your actions than you think. What about neighbors, friends, relatives and the most innocent ones of all, your children. Do not do things that would cause them to frown or not want to become a mother/father one day. You may think to yourself that they are just an infant and don't realize what is going on. I beg to differ with you, they can sense and feel danger or when something is not right in your home or in your life. Why would you put their security at risk? Think before you act. My Father gave me a great piece of advice once, once you make a decision you cannot go back on it so even if you have a second or two before you advance with a decision really think it through. Once the act is performed there is no going back to undo it. All you can do is go back and try to correct it. Why waste your time in doing that when it could have all been prevented to begin with right?
Final word from me, given to you from a Mother. Love your children and rejoice in their accomplishments and hold their hand or comfort them in their losses with words to console them. Never have a tired ear for them when they seek your advice. I am speaking to myself also. Just last night my son asked me for prayer and I was really tired and told him I pray God's will be done in your life. I then told him I would pray with him today further when I was rested. You know I thought about that as I am writing and what if there may have never been a tomorrow for me to share a prayer with my son? I would probably regret that a very long time. Even when you truly are exhausted do not turn down an opportunity for you to pray with your children because that prayer prayed out of tiredness may have brought you a refreshing and showed your child that you really care for them no matter what. Lord, I ask you to forgive me in choosing a moment to pass it by and not reach out. I know my prayer is received by Jesus and He will for give me I just need to be a little bit better with responding to the call at hand. Go hug your children today or child even if they are grown up and too big to sit on Mommy's/Daddy's lap anymore. That hug you give may be the last opportunity to hug them.
My uncle received a kidney donated by a young person that died at the age of 22 years old. That is young. Remember, Jesus never pushed the children away from Him He always drew them near and close to Him. So if He did it then why not do the same?
