MY CHILD, MY PRIDE
There is something many children do not fully understand until they become parents themselves and that is "A mother’s heart does not beat herself alone". From the very day a child is formed in her womb, her life changes forever. Her prayers change. Her fears change. Her dreams change. Everything about her begins to revolve around that child.
A mother can go hungry just to make sure her child eats.
She can stay awake all night because her child is sick.
She can carry silent pain in her heart and still smile, just to keep her children happy.
Children, you may never truly know how valuable you are in the heart of your mother. You are worth more than gold, silver, or riches. Your mother may not always say it with words, but her sacrifices speak loudly every single day.
Sometimes, when mothers look worried, it is not because of themselves, It is because of their children, mostly. Your joy becomes our joy. Your pain becomes our pain. Your safety gives us peace. Your lifestyle affects our breath, our sleep, our emotions, and even our health.
My child, my pride…
You are one of the reasons our mothers are still standing strong. Without you, our breath would never feel complete. We carry you in our hearts every moment, even when you are far away from us.
That is why you must be careful with your life.
Be careful where you go.
Be careful who you follow.
Be careful of the friends you keep.
Not every smiling face means well for your destiny, my child.
Bad companies have destroyed many bright futures. Some children who were raised with love and prayers, lost their way because they followed wrong voices, dangerous lifestyles, or careless decisions.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:33, “Bad companies corrupt good characters.”
My Darling, do not allow temporary pleasure to destroy the beautiful future God prepared for you.
Do not exchange your destiny for acceptance from bad friends.
Do not make decisions that will bring tears to the eyes that once cried in joy when you were born.
Every mother prays secretly for one thing:
“To see my children alive, safe, successful, and fulfilled.”
Your good life keeps us breathing peacefully.
Your safety keeps our hearts at rest.
Your success wipes away our hidden tears.
My dear child, please value yourself.
You are precious.
You are loved deeply.
You are not a mistake.
You are an answered prayer.
Do not live carelessly.
Protect your destiny.
Protect your name.
Protect your future.
Very important...
There are mothers today whose hearts are bleeding because of the choices their children made. Some cry silently every night, asking God to save their children from danger, addiction, violence, bad friends, and destruction.
Please my darling, do not become a source of sorrow to the woman who carried you with pain and raised you with prayers.
Instead, become her peace.
Become her testimony.
Become the reason she smiles before God and says, “Lord, thank You for my child.”
And above all, never forget God.
When God leads your life, your path will not end in destruction.
The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
May every child reading this grow into wisdom, purpose, and greatness.
May God protect you from evil friends and dangerous paths.
May your life bring joy and not sorrow to your parents.
May your future shine brightly, and may your mother never cry because of you. Amen.
I love you and your mother loves you more.
God bless you, ezigbo m.
