for the love of Tiberius

an observation

I recently observed that adults can be so quick and harsh to impose their opinion on a child that they easily skip past the opportunity to understand a childs perspective ...

I recently observed that parents can be so judgemental, so degrading, so insensitive to the very child they are responsible to nurture...

I recently observed that a child's spirit is a fragile thing, so easily damaged by those they long to be loved and accepted by...

I recently observed Tiberius. And I longed for him to hear praise for the person God created him to be no matter if he was bigger than all the other kids his age or not. I longed for him to have a voice and an audience who would listen long enough to give him a platform for his thoughts, opinions, cares, ideas and all the other greatness God packed into him.

For the love of Tiberius I purpose to take more time to see from a child's perspective...to be "Quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." I purpose to show value to the young, vulnerable people God puts in my life and let my actions towards them stem from love for them and their Creator.
