What if my wife revealed that she was pregnant by me?
However, what if our child one day chose simply not to believe?
In nine months and eighteen years I need to answer this question.
Nine months for God and my wife to give birth to the little one.
Eighteen years for us to train them in the way that they should go.
But, it is our child's choice to believe once grown and outside the door.
Our child shall be instructed about the consequences of our sins.
Our child shall be instructed about the punishment in the end.
I will train our child up in the Godly way that they should always go.
I will show them the love of the wonderful God I personally know.
Once grown, by us, our child shall be shown how to live life righteously.
Regardless in whom they believe, they will always be our child to me.
I will love our child even if by their life they chose not to follow God.
Because no matter what our child is an important part of my heart.
Still, there is always a chance our child might choose in God not to believe.
If our child does, it is not because of the lack of the right instructions from me.
In who to continue believe that major choice of life shall be their own.
But, they are still our child though they choose not to believe once grown.
