GOD'S BLUE BOOK - Shepherds of Christ Ministries

R.If I try to fish all night, I catch nothing. He comes and He gets
nets that are breaking. The more I try, the more I get nothing.
When He does it, it is unbelievable.

God’s Blue Book 127
Children Need Time and Attention
5:30a.m.
I am the way, the truth and the life. Those who follow My will—
they will have the light of life. I give you My will so you will be the
happiest. If you do not follow, you suffer. Things do not work
accordingly, and it is an uphill battle. This is the day of the Lord.
Rejoice in it and be glad.
If you come to me for all you need, all else works out. When you
go to the world, the world does not have what you need and nothing
works out. I am the God of your fathers. What they thought was
important is of no importance to them now. All that goes with them
where they are now are the things of God. Life for them was a short
journey, and then eternity. You know, they are no longer here. Did it
matter how much money, how big a house? It did matter how they
treated their children, but you (their children) still carry that with
you. But their money, or job, or cows, or whatever—do you even
know?
What you sow today, so shall you reap. If you sow hatred, you
reap hatred. If you sow love, you reap love. This is alive in the
hearts of your children. You do not pass on your pretty clothes or
your beautiful furniture. You do not pass on your beautiful body.
You pass on how you were as a person. Like ripples on a pond, it
goes on and on.
All material things wither and fade like the grass and die. Fill
yourself with the things of God. These are everlasting. The love you
show today lives on in the hearts of your children. The anger and
hate and selfishness live on in their hearts, too. What a legacy to be
given to a newborn baby—generations of hate and selfishness!
So you thought you were so important. You thought children
were children and they needed food and clothing and a place to
stay. What children need is love and time. They need to know about
God from their first moments. Fold their hands and teach them to
look to heaven. Little ones are so close to me. They are so innocent,
so pure. Teach little ones about God before they get to the schools.
Those first years are so important for a child. It is there they are
taught for life. Don’t go to work and leave these treasures at home,
paid for a price of silver. Nothing is worth that money. Their beautiful
eyes tell you what a treasure you possess.
