We too need to go to prison

The rising number of young people who are going to prison is one of the great concerns. So many are talking but are doing little or nothing to change the trend. As long as a child is not being abused, then we should do whatever is necessary in the home as well as in the school to raise the child properly. This means that we must start by teaching discipline and holding children accountable for their actions. If a family knows that they are not abusing the child and the law does not like the way that you are disciplining your child, just give the child to the law and rest assure in just a few days they will be bringing it back. If they want to take you to jail so be it.
When it comes to raising our children we are not going to change what we are willing to tolerate. The lack of love in most of our children is eating away at their life just like some form of cancer. Love is far too amazing and too good to have as a private possession. There is nothing more powerful than the name of Jesus. We are too quick to lose faith. Faith works by love. Most parents and adults spend too much time as a conjunction. Their vocabulary seems to revolve around ifs, its and buts. Ifs are what you want to happen and but is where you should sit. Love is what hate could never be. If you don’t love you will become what you hate. A father and a mother must be the primary care giver of love. The absence of the biological father or mother will leave a hole in a child that no other man or woman can fill. I wonder if we still need to go to prison?
Faith is probably one of the main things that is missing in each of us. America has continued to become a nation that is losing its spiritual soul. This is because there is a lack of Christ in the home. Our schools are another problem where most parents and guardians will not visit the school to see how their child is doing. Do they not know its ok to give a child a hug and tell it that they love it? The next time you hear someone talking about so many who are going to prison and yet they say nothing about what they are going to do, just remind them that we probably need to go to prison too. No one can get blood from a turnip. We must accept the fact that we are not perfect but there is no margin for error. The next time someone decides to criticize someone else, I hope they will remember to forgive just as Jesus has forgiven us. All generations must be responsible for itself. We all are in it together one nation. Losers will always complain while winners will take responsibility. Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ is our shepherd and we do not need to go to prison when he has provided us with everything we need.

Thank you and lord bless.
