As far as we know, Paul never had any children. Most believe he wasn’t even married but I have heard it asserted that he must have been because marriage was required for Pharisees and he came from that Jewish sect.<\/p>\n

Even if he had no children in the natural, we know for sure he had spiritual children. He called Timothy his son and he addressed a letter “to Titus, my true child<\/i> in a common faith.”<\/b> (Titus 1:4) Sometimes spiritual children, birthed in the “common faith” are as deep as any natural bonds. Sometimes more so.<\/p>\n

I can look back over time and see those that God sent along to me to be a spiritual mom or dad. Age isn’t the important thing here; it’s those who are seasoned and mature in the Lord. They grew up tall and straight and now they are ready to reach down and take the hand of a toddler who can’t yet walk alone.<\/p>\n

There were times when I was wobbling close to the edge of a sharp cliff and a sure word of encouragement or correction steadied me until I could regain my path. Some won’t know until eternity what a difference they made in my life.<\/p>\n

What about you? Who has made a difference to your spiritual walk? Who held on to you when you had a temper tantrum or prayed you through a very dark night of your soul? Who turned you around when you were going backward?<\/p>\n

If you have had a spiritual parent, it is only right that you take a turn at being one. Look around. Maybe some new babe in Christ is tugging at your pant leg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
