"From the first blink of a baby's eye as it enters into this world, they need to have the tender loving care that will teach and enable them to raise up in surroundings that will love and protect them from all harm, as they are nurtured in life to become their best self." Joan Jessalyn Cox from Love and Protect Your Children.
The learning process is taken one step at a time, and information is received better upon a clean, undisturbed mental slate, such as a young child’s uncluttered mind.
When anyone’s mind, especially a child’s mind, is being filled with filthy clutter, lessons must work through the mental garbage dumped into their environment and young minds.
When children are taught, and shown sexual material, and illustrations too early in life, it distracts them with material they are too young to know. These deviations brought into teaching material disturb their thinking and are a major hindrance in their learning process for a sound education.
When parents take their children to see vulgar displays of sexual activities passed off as entertainment, they are contributing to their psychological abuse, which sets them up to accept physical abuse. We should hold the parents and the people involved in sexual seduction activities accountable for abusing children.
Parents are supposed to love and protect their children. Good parents want their children to have a healthy mind and body, so they can feel good about themselves and have parents who want to shelter them from all harm, even within their own home.
What is missing in our current chaotic culture? Wholesome thinking and wholesome living.
What lessons can we learn from the golden childhood of yester years? It was a time when children could live with an innocent outlook on life. They could run and play free of mental disturbances and physical assault. Children could grow up gradually and learn with a clearer mind. They didn’t have dangerous surroundings to keep them drowning in fear. They didn’t have to be so apprehensive of adults lurking near them with corrupt desires circling them like wolves on the hunt ready to snatch away their innocence.
Trusting the untrustworthy is the beginning of all your sorrows and defeats in your life, and will continue to work their evil delusions upon you or your family as long as you tolerate their presence in your life.
Deviant people exist who, with disturbed minds, yearn to invade children’s frail, pure minds and bodies. Who will protect our children? Who are courageous enough to stand up and defend the children? Where are the heroes when weakened parents cannot, or will not, help their children?
Parents, and other people in a child’s life that loves them purely from the heart, care enough to cherish them and to protect children from a vile and vicious world. Parents who stand up against all demoralization from the elements of morally impure activities that will hurt their children in body, mind or spirit will make a courageous stand against all elements of ungodly filth.
Parents love their children enough to protect them from all intrusions into their life that will rob them of practical thinking and they will protect them during their innocent growing seasons, all their life.
Trustworthy parents, family and friends will show how the loyalty of pure love from the heart instills the love of Jesus that is holy because Jesus teaches us that holy love comes from the heart.
Jesus Christ’s everlasting words of truth emphasizes heartfelt love of God that radiates from the heart with purity.
When people accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior through reading and understanding his words from the Bible, truth changes the believer’s outlook on life. Truth refreshes your soul and spirit (attitude) because truth will win a victory over all sin (lawlessness).
Wholesome thinking and living brings peace to the soul, and victory by faith in Jesus Christ to help others in our lives, especially children and others who suffer hurt and are bruised by the same elements of evil at work in the world today.
Jesus is our abundant hope. When living according to his word, our honest character is established and fulfilled, because it renews and cleanses his beloved people. Honesty springs forth from truth.
“Jesus saith, unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
“Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.”
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:6-9
Understand that the phrase “children of God” shows the Lord’s loving, protecting, and preserving merciful love toward all who love and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Quotes about children are from my book, Love And Protect Your Children by Joan Jessalyn Cox
“Teaching and nurturing your children to face the challenges of life with confidence, gives them greater strength to face the realities of life.”
“When you invest in the good upbringing of a child you are investing in your nation’s future.”
“The value of good parental training of children must never be undervalued; it is necessary for them to have a happy and fulfilled life.”
Mindless hearing is meaningless hearing, it drives error like smoking wheels on a racecar.
People interpret the words that are spoken to them, or overheard as they are spoken to others very differently.
We expect all people to interpret spoken or written words the same, but they are only interpreted according to the knowledge, understanding, and ability to focus on what is said or written in order to grasp the real meaning of the words as they are intended to be read or heard.
A hearing problem always has some jumbled meaning as well as the blurring of the articulation of the words they strain to hear.
You must also have mental awareness to focus on the spoken or written words to interpret them well. If you are not fully focused on what someone is saying mentally, it’s the same as having a muffler over your ears of understanding.
To hear and receive clearly what is spoken or written your physical ears, must also be equally engaged with the focus in your mind on what is being communicated to you.
When you are unconcerned about who is speaking, and what they are saying, your mind sends you in a different direction from what you are hearing or reading.
Your own thoughts take priority over what you are reading or hearing, you are not interested and veer away from being fully involved in the subject at hand. You are not engaged mentally with what you are hearing or reading, and you lose its accuracy through lack of sound concentration for mental clarity of interpretation of a matter.
To be engaged with what is being said or read, takes four major interactions. You must desire the information, respect the person delivering the information, and hear the information both physically and intellectually. You must be focused on what you are hearing or reading to thoroughly understand what you are being taught.
You must desire to know what is being said or read because you want or need the information. You must desire to know, or need the information.
You must respect the person delivering the information, you have either read or heard their communication and value it as good advice or someone has given you a good review, or recommendation about the material and the person conveying it. You must respect the person, and value their excellent advice, or discourse on the topic as sound material gathering.
You must be open to hearing or reading the communication, and be mentally focused on the material covered to understand the information, and learn its source for the substantiation of a fact driven truth.
Your mind must be mentally receptive and your ears hearing clearly before the message is received in its profound entirety. You must be focused, and desire the truth, to be able to retain it.
Our fast moving society not only scans their cell phones, books, articles, and documents but they also scan intellectually what is being said without fully grasping everything that is spoken, then they read a different meaning into what they’ve read than what has actually been conveyed to them.
Emotional hearing contains mental vagueness, more said, less heard, because a word, phrase, or statement activates their own mind to run off in many different directions than hearing and focusing on what is actually said.
When the hearer begins to try to recall what was said, it rarely finds its way to the exact meaning of what was heard. When people presume what is said they did not hear nor interpret what was said accurately.
When something is presumed to be something other than the accurate communication, they are hearing or reading; they are guessing the related matter means something that is usually opposite, twisted, or misleading by the re-interpretation in their mind.
The speaker’s or writers’ words were erroneously interpreted, meaning your truth just became erroneous, to the hearer it is now opposite from what you said, it is a lie.
Mindless hearing is when the hearer imagines what you said, but didn’t intellectually hear the true meaning of what was said. The presumption was wrong; they assumed a different meaning, and turned your truth to a lie, and gave you credit for their twisted version of your truth.
Mindless hearing is meaningless hearing, it drives error like smoking wheels on a racecar.
You must hear clearly and truthfully to know, and establish the truth in your heart and mind, before you can be renewed, restored, and revived in faith, hope, and charity.
Trials and tribulations are brought on by a need for adjustment in our lives. You can’t correct what you don’t know exists in your life or what hinders you from growing, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Maturing emotionally means gaining better behavior responses.
Perplexing problems happen because of lack of knowledge about the problem or lack of focus on the problem, or lack of addressing or confronting the problem until it reaches the crisis stage and can no longer be ignored.
Faith is focusing on what God does through his perfection, and not what we want to try to do better than God!
When you serve Jesus Christ the God of truth, read, and listen to His words of truth, you understand your weaknesses in your own human ways. Humanity is weak because their self-indulgent desires always leads their long list of priorities and becomes quicksand beneath their feet.
Our Holy God of truth is God because every human being needs someone greater than themselves to lead their life and guide them away from all they follow that causes their moral decay.
Every building must have a good foundation to weather the winds of change. Anyone during the tumult of unrest must have enough mental strength, as well as physical and spiritual strength, to stay sound and steady during chaotic times.
It improves the race of life when you know what you are racing for and always seek to improve at whatever you feel you are called on to do in life. When you yearn to learn to do better the next time, you will always be searching for ways to improve.
A person who believes all the goodwill of God and seeks to know more about Jesus is the one who knows he can always become better his entire life as he drops the gospel seeds of truth into his heart. It’s the desire to improve that will push us on to attain spiritual maturity.
It’s all in the “will and the want to” as the old expression goes, that will is the desire that will cause people not to settle for less than what the Lord has made available for them to have and achieve.
Don’t lose hope!
It isn’t a good sign if you settle for less than you need, when you are seeking to be qualified to do your best. When you don’t have a desire for something better, you will lose hope, give up and settle for something less than your best.
When you lose hope, you lose your drive, determination, and motivation to succeed.
You can’t drive down the glory (victory) road unless you have been revived in your heart and mind to move forward with great desire and passion.
You must be motivated to accomplish more than what you think is possible. You have to have faith, great faith, mountain moving faith to accomplish all that Jesus Christ sets before you. All because the Lord knows you can do what he requires of you if you will do it!
When you become discouraged you feel hopeless and empty of all you need to rely on to help you become better, in all phases of your life that’s necessary to get a higher standard of living.
You lose purpose, drive, and satisfaction in your life when you lose hope. You become cast down in your demeanor, deflated and overwhelmed by every obstacle that presents itself in life.
You need to have your focus on a better view, value, and vision. You need to have great goals in your heart and confidence in your mind to achieve all higher milestones that you have set before you.
That clearer focus on the truth of the matter concerning anything you are pursuing will carry you further than any questionable ways in life you might choose to travel.
You either have faith and conquer the problems set before you, or the problems set before you will pull you down emotionally and conquer you. You can only restore your faith, hope, and charity, when you thoroughly understand your problem and resolve it.
The word order in scripture defines and refines the exactness of the divinely revealed truth of God’s Word. You need to read God’s word enough to recognize whether you are being taught truth or error.
Truth is clearly explained in the Holy word of God, but not always clearly understood.
Prayer is the appeal to the Lord to answer our requests to solve problems and complications in our life. By faith, we accept the answer to prayer before we see its completion.
When we pray we are to have confidence in the One who always answers our prayers, Jesus Christ. When we trust Him to answer our prayers we are lifted up in all we pursue in life as we watch our prayers being answered one after the other all our life.
Follow Jesus Christ, during 2021 and believe Him above all you see and hear. Jesus will comfort and guide you through all that may be fearful in the chaotic days ahead. Faith in Jesus Christ is trusting Jesus because He is trustworthy. When you pray expect an answer because with His abundant love for his children Jesus desires to answer your prayer on the wings of your faith in Him.
Jesus Christ is the way maker and he’ll make a way of escape for you!
Worship Jesus the miracle worker knowing that Jesus Christ is still in control of all that is happening and watch him take care of you and answer your prayers.
