From my experience, I have seen that the message every child hears growing up can affect them all through their lives, whether they are encouraged to succeed or told they are worthless. My trust in the Lord began when I was a small child. The knowledge that He loves me stabilized my life and prepared me to face the future. I am sure you can recognize in your own life how the things you learnt when you were young affected the way you saw yourself and the world you grew up.
The Bible teaches us that if you instruct a child in the way he should go, he will not depart from it when he is old (Proverbs 22.6). If we bring these children the message of God’s love for them, teaching them that they have great value in His eyes and are not limited by their little world, they will be enabled to do great things with their lives. Education must facilitate these children to become leaders and strong, upstanding citizens, people who will be able to serve and lead the country in the years to come with integrity and honesty.
