You are accountable for the children

I had two dreams yesterday and in both I was caring for a child that didn't belong to me. One I knew the other I didn't, but I knew I was responsible for them. The first I did not know anyone but the child. In the second I knew everyone but the child. I didn't know who the baby belonged to but as I packed up, I made sure she was ready to go with me.

As I was making my video on it. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that the children around us, we are also responsible for. I grew up in a small town, and there wasn't an adult who couldn't correct us. We had to respect all adults. We lost that as we became adults. Our children have lost that respect because we taught no standard as a whole for it. I don't play that, but I am surrounded by children who thinks it is ok to disrespect not only other adults but their own parents.

God was getting on me about not guiding the children around me spiritually though. I thought I was doing the right thing about praying for them, and if I'm honest I did get instruction to pray with them before. I get detoured by their attitude about it, but we have to set the standard of them building their own relationship with God. I will do better on my part. I pray to God for instruction on the best way to approach it because he knows us all inside and out.

What I do know is I have no choice but to get it right. I hope you feel the same conviction. We have to teach, lead, guide, and pour love into the ones that are coming behind us.
