"I could have NO GREATER JOY than to hear that my children are following the Truth!"
Our One Truth Today assumes that you have given your heart to Jesus Christ the Lord God and that you are a true believer. We can further assume that you have been a faithful servant and worshiped the Lord with all your heart, mind, body and soul. The bible is not just the Word of God it is the manual for your daily life. You are not just a hearer of the Word but you are a doer of the Word. Now assuming that you have a family and have raised them according to the Words of the Lord, you will understand why you could have NO GREATER JOY! There can be nothing more important to you than seeing your children come to a Saving Grace by the acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. If your children know, love and fear the Lord God you have been blessed beyond mere words!
I could have NO GREATER JOY than to know that my children are following the Truth of God!
Now let us assume that you have four children. Two have given their lives to Jesus Christ and are committed to obey the Word of God faithfully, until the end. The other two have rejected the Lord God and even have a hostile attitude toward the Lord and your beliefs. They do not believe there is a God. They want to know how a "good God" could allow bad things to happen.
They want to know why there is evil in the world, if it was made by a perfect God. How do you deal with this situation? Is there an answer that can lead them to the Truth? How would you feel if the Spirit of God moved upon them and they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior? I could have NO GREATER JOY!
If the task was up to us alone it would be impossible. Fortunately the Holy Spirit and the Word of God are all powerful and have no limitations. The blood of Jesus Christ can overcome all evil and wash the sins clean of all sinners. All we are required to do is to pray fervently and continuously for their Salvation. Never stop asking, or seeking, for them to be Saved. The righteous prayers of true believers are are heard and answered by the Living God! Miracles do happen and the Lord can accomplish what we think is impossible. Give it up and give it to God!
Your children will come to realize that God is good and men are evil. God is not the author of evil or the bad things of this world, men are. God has a perfect plan and a perfect place for you to spend eternity with Him, if you only believe. They may come to understand the eternal perspective instead of this momentary time here on earth. Their choice, their consequence but our prayer is for the intercession of the Holy Spirit. Their Salvation means NO GREATER JOY!
