I’d like you to think about this quote from an unknown author…” Be the adult you needed as a child.” For only you know what would have made a difference in your childhood. And only then, with the Lord’s help, can you make a difference in some child’s life today. Maybe you lived in a home that was always in a state of confusion & chaos. Or you were told by word or deed that you were unwanted & lacked value… or you were left to fend on your own in a scary environment. Finally, maybe as a child you were filled with shame, guilt, and hopelessness because of the forceful actions of others. To become the adult you needed as a child, you first must take a hard look at what shaped you adversely…the neglect, pain, anxiety, or despair…and then determine to become, with the Lord’s help, a better version of yourself. Where there was confusion & chaos, become concise, clear, & organized. Where there was invalidation, show others they are loved & cherished. Where there was fear, shame, & hopelessness, be the person that is always there to provide emotional support… full of integrity, hope, and the love of Christ. You can become the adult you needed as a child…and you can change a child’s life for the better today because of it.
