"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me,it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.",the words of Jesus from Matthew 18:6-7.
These Scriptures give children, tweens and teenagers hope --a lot of hope! Because you see when someone offends in a harmful way, we're not just talking about disliking or even insulting your dress or shoes or whatever,but a way that does real physical, psychological or emotional harm to you, then know that Jesus will avenge in His way and on His time table. He does not condone adults hurting children, and HE will protect you,defend you, rearrange your circumstances to help you survive. I am proof of that! So when you think your life is unbearable, then just pour out your tears and your heartache to the Lord,and HE will hear you. I know. gloria poole pappas
