Parents can strengthen their children as well as their community and nation by recognizing that the spirits coming to earth today were saved for “such a time as this” (Esther). I found the following information on Facebook and shared it with friends. However, I could not get it off my mind and decided to share it on my blog. It was published by Carli Stralo under the date of April 22, but I do not know the year. Nevertheless, it is “signed” Alex Cravens.
“Don’t
feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow
up in is not what it used to be.
God
created them and called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in.
Their life wasn’t a coincidence or an accident.
Raise
them up to know the power they walk in as children of God.
Train
them up in the authority of His Word.
Teach
them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control.
Empower
them to know they can change the world.
Don’t
teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world but hopeful
that they can do something about it.
Every
person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because
of God’s sovereign plan.
He
knew Daniel could handle the lions’ den.
He
knew David could handle Goliath.
He
knew Esther could handle Haman.
He
knew Peter could handle persecution.
He
knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life. He
created them specifically for it!
Don’t
be scared for your children, but be honored that God chose YOU to parent the
generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
Rise
up to the challenge.
Raise
Daniels, Davids, Esthers and Peters!
God
isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a
world.
He
has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all
over the earth.
Don’t
let your fear steal the greatness God placed in them. I know it’s hard to
imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to
protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them, but they were born
for such a time as this.”
