Something on my mind

I have had something on my mind the last day or two. Children.

I think we as Christians (myself included) don't give children of all ages enough credit.
I believe that children can work miracles, evangelize, get visions or use any of the spiritual gifts just as an adult can.
I believe the Spirit of God is powerful and it can work through anyone regardless of age and for that matter regardless of how long you have been a believer.

As a parent myself of a wonderful little girl I look at her and think she could impact and change lives for the Lord. When thinking about this my mind actually drifts to when she is "older."
I think the Lord has been convicting me the last couple days showing me NO Nikke she can impact and change lives now, a year from now or even 4 years from now.
I thought I had always believed this but I guess I haven't completely when I take a deeper look at my minds process.

I think it is time as Christian parents (again me included) to tell our kids and really believe it that they can do ANYTHING through the Spirit of the Lord.

I do not want to be the one that has held my daughter back from doing God's work because I thought she was too young.

This has just been on my mind and heart lately and I hope I have made some sense here.

So, in closing.

Lord, I pray that you would shape and mold me as a parent to guide and direct Chloe as You see fit. I pray that I can be a good example and I can teach her of your ways and not my own. I pray that You will use her mightily to expand your kingdom.
Lord, she is your child and you have blessed Adam and I with her and we thank you and praise you!

Amen.
