Biblical Answer

When your children grow up and you're not there to see it, the Bible offers a beautiful perspective on this situation. In the story of the two children who were killed in the collapse of a house, we see that even in the midst of tragedy, God's love and redemption are at work. The mother sees a vision of the two children glorified in heaven, where they have been rescued and are safe. This reminds us that even though we may not be physically present to see our children grow up, God is always with them and is working to bring them to Himself.

As parents, we must pray for our children and trust that God is at work in their lives. We should pray that they will come to know Jesus and that they will remain faithful to Him throughout their lives. This means letting go of our own desires and expectations for them and instead, trusting God to work out His perfect plan. We should also pray that our children will see the light of Christ in us and that they will be encouraged by our love and support for each other and for them.

Ultimately, as parents, we must recognize that our role is to point our children to God, not to be their savior. We must trust that God is sovereign and that He will bring our children to Himself, even if we are not there to see it. We can take comfort in the fact that God's love and redemption are at work in our children's lives, even when we are not physically present. This means that we can rest in God's sovereignty and trust that He will bring our children to Himself, even if we are not there to see it.
