not just because I birthed you. I love you! But, are you precious to God? He made us and takes care of us and He tells us what is precious to Him. Precious enough to take special care of. Her worth, it states, is far above rubies and then it goes into why.
Can you be trusted? Can you be trusted with your friends' and sisters' and brothers' secrets? That is fidelity. Can you be trusted to carry your share of the burden in love and not in disdain. This starts in the home. You are getting much practice learning and growing in fidelity and comradery. This is why I tell you to beware of only children. Because they learn early to look out for their own interests, which is also necessary for survival, yet, crushing to a relationship. Let them marry other only children, so that they can duke it out together and the love that is developed there is no less true. But learning to care for the needs of the whole and the relationship is your job on the earth, as children reared in a large and unified family.
Stuff is to be cared for, but people moreso.
Be trusted!
God takes care of the whole world, the people and the stuff! The entire care, is His for His glory and He waits His judgement until the sin rises over the top of the cup and then He has had enough. In wrath, we pray, remember mercy, O Lord!
