Children’s spirituality

22 September 2010

Deuteronomy 6:6 And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and 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.

We so often play games when it comes to our spirituality or we tend to avoid our spiritual side and problems occur because we do. We are all spiritual beings, and there is a part of us that needs to be connected to this aspect of who we are. We grow up with this need and so when a child enjoys being connected spiritually we see the child as being spiritual. Other children may not display this response as publicly as others but it does not imply that they are not spiritual, this continues throughout our life. We need to be part of a spiritual whole, and when we become part of it, in that way we have a sense of being completed.

In this world today we see this being displayed in various ways, and this desire is often misdirected into areas that lead to problems and distortions. When our children are left without proper guidance in regard to their spirituality they will seek out their own interpretation of their need and so experiment with things that could harm and destroy them. This could be from trying drugs, to playing with the occult, to joining any cult or religious group.

The only way is the Jesus Christ way, for us to teach and realise for ourselves that we have a spiritual connection to God in and through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to be part of the Church in order to become complete in Christ.

Be encouraged today to express yourself spiritually in Christ.

David

Point to ponder: Our spirituality is expressed in Christ.

Question to consider: Are you complete in Christ?
