My desire to help children go to school has as a paramount goal to implant the idea of God, the belief in God into the minds of these children at their tender ages. When they grow up, they will have something to fall back to which has been in their superegos. This desire in me is of great importance because when we wander far away from God, things begin to go wrong. Then we begin to build castles in the air, forgetting the admonition of the Psalmist: "Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build. Unless the Lord guard the city, in vain does the guard keep watch," (Psalm 127:1).
The parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 is a story Jesus tells about a man who had two sons, to teach us how we, sometimes in one way or another, wander away from God's love, thinking we could find happiness in reckless living. This is rebellion against God's love, but thanks be to God, his mercy is boundless. We need to come to our senses fast and begin to return home. It is only then that we shall experience the love of God. It is therefore important to implant in our children the desire to know God, or rather the knowledge of God, so that even if at one point they wander away, they will still have something in their superegos that will drag them back to the love of God which they had originally received.
The society is telling us today: "No God in public life." We are already receiving the effects of this with the decay of morality in the society. Christians ought to maintain their Christian identity.
