The child asks
“What have you done? What have you brought me into? Is it good that
I am here? Am I OK? Are you glad that I am here? Am I a bother to
you? A distraction from something you'd rather be doing? Am I an
accident? Is it safe for me to be me? I hear you say 'No! Don't! You
can't touch/ play with/ explore there!' Can I trust the world? Some
of what we do seems meaningless—watching programs on TV, playing
games, being silly. What is the meaning underneath all this? Is there
an underlying meaning?
Make every effort
to supplement faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and
knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and
steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly
affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are
yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Pet 1:5-8
