Children should be able to talk to parents about anything that makes them sad, scared, or confused and not to their coaches/teachers/non-family member. If anyone who tells your child not to tell/talk to you is a bully (Do not trust him).

Everybody Receives Information

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7)

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (Luke 12:4-7)

The Bible can do nothing if you don’t open it and start reading. "For many are invited, but few are chosen."(Matthew 22:14)

Warning labels are used to give information about health risks and can be dangerous if not followed. "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." (Luke 6:46-49)

Too much/
Drinking: causes birth defects and risks of cancer.
Smoking: cardiovascular diseases and risks of cancer.
Tanning: risk of skin cancer.

I never used sun block, but I used baby oil. I ignored every warning just so I could get a tan. The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tear hers down. (Proverbs 14:1)

Now I am 44 years old and I was told that I have squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer). I also put my only child in danger. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1)

My active son is now wearing sun protection and educating his friends about skin cancer. Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. (Proverbs 8:34)

I have no one to blame except myself. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. (James 1:3)

I prayed and asked God to forgive me for my sin. The way of the Lord is not just. But it is their way that is not just. If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it. And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so. (Ezekiel 33:17-19)

Yes! It was sin because I let the sun damage my body which God had made for me.Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

This is another journey, but I trust in God and He will help me. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. (Genesis 5:24)

Can I receive Joy from Suffering?

Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. (2 Corinthians 8:2)

Going through trials and sufferings is very difficult. You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. (Thessalonians 1:7)

Often times fear sets in and I want to run. However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: (Deuteronomy 28:15)

But because of my love for Jesus, I am able to turn sufferings into a tool to share my faith and I hope to grow closer to Jesus. “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29)

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” (Hebrew 13:6)

I know He will be with me, and He will hold my hand during each trial. I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!The LORD's right hand is lifted high; the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!" I will not die but live and will proclaim what the LORD has done. (Psalm 118:13-17)

Because He is my Savor and He will lead me to the Promise Land. "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. (Psalm 91:14)

Promise Jesus gave us. After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of 40 days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. or John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." (Act 1:3-5)

Dear God, thank you for Son.
Help me walk confidently knowing that I belong to you. Please help me keep my eyes only on you, as I await for the fulfillment of your promise and keep me from violence.  Guide me to live in your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
