Quotes about children
children mean age
God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times.

It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him. John Piper

Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire?

It is not enough to say that we cannot know or judge because all the information is not in. The process of gathering knowledge does not lead to knowing. A child's world spreads only a little beyond his understanding while that of a great scientist thrusts outward immeasurably. An answer is invariably the parent of a great family of new questions. So we draw worlds and fit them like tracings against the world about us, and crumple them when we find they do not fit and draw new ones.
