Mark 10:15 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) Copyright © 1973, 1978,1984 by International Bible Society. "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it". As you have noticed, Jesus used the word "child" in this passage. But what if our child is in the state of moral and psychological depressions? For the family to meet a child's psychological needs, its family members must be nurturing, conduct mutual respect, and engage in bonding and attachment. The family also mingles the child, guiding them to be members of the society beyond the family. The family is the child's source of economic resources, which meet the child's various physical needs for food, shelter, and clothing.
Most of our youth today involves in some kinds of small group activities such as fraternity, gangs, etc. These teen turns out to be the suspect of a crime they don't even know. But the truth is, they are the victim of abuse and exploitations. What if even their own family turns out to be their battleground instead of being their private sanctuary? Will there enough space for them to rest? Enough love to comfort their hungry soul? They usually go out and join some groups because they feel that they are being neglected by their own family. They must be fed by cherishing and love. They must think that they are much secure with their own family than their friends. Giving them the proper way of caring will benefits us someday. We all know that our youth will serve as our hope for the future of mankind. It is our last card. This poem I quote from Laura says "...a single life has been misused. A tiny child has been abused.Are we just going to sit and hide our eyes, Or are we going to look way deep down inside?".
