Apple of God’s Eye
The eye is the most sensitive part of our face. Our heavenly Father cherishes, protects and highly values the children. He calls them the apple of His eye. He loves children very much, and He protects them like a mother bird protects her chicks. God protects children because they are innocent. They only know love and happiness. They have no bad feelings for others. They are exactly as God. This plea for God’s protection tells us how close is His care. Look into their innocent faces and take care of them and protect them from the world of evil that is around. My heart cries out for them and one of my goals in life is to help them mature into Godly young men and women. Someday, I hope to establish an organization to be able to help and protect them from the evils of the world. Until then, my prayers go out to them daily, in Jesus's name, Amen!
