“……., don’t weep for me, but weep for your children.”
– Jesus (Luke 23:28)
Jesus was being led to be crucified, and the women were bewailing him as if the worst had befallen him.
So shocked were they when Jesus told them not to weep for him, but for their children.
Knowing the malicious agenda the devil has for the children and youth, he pointed the wailing women to where their tears was really needed.
He said if they wouldn’t weep (pray), the barren would be better off.
For example, who would you consider better between Mummy A and B?
Mummy A prayed to have a child but to no avail. She wiped her tears, and life continues.
Mummy B has Children. So she had no reason to weep. While carried away by the pride of motherhood, the thief came from back door, to steal, kill and destroy. As a result, one child became a rapist while the other committed suicide!
He or she, who has no time to pray, has no business getting pregnant.
