Deuteronomy 6:4-9, " “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."
God's command to love him with everything is something that cannot be kept to ourselves. Not only are we to share God's love with our neighbors, but there is a high priority placed here upon passing it on to our children. The teaching is not forced upon them, rather, it is something that must take place during normal, everyday activities and happenings. People will know this is taking place because our kids will be as the doorposts of a house. Their lives will stand as markers to say that we are a Christ centered home. I want to bless other with Christ's love--especially my children. I desire them to live for Christ and to bless others with their lives. Lord, hear our prayers to have children who will bless Your Name and who will call upon Your Name for salvation. Help me to lead them to you, Jesus and I pray that they may accept You and love You. Amen.
