For the Childless on Father's Day Mickey SaintlyMic Smith 6-16-2024 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kADVZ9DPm45IlvntmgnGv3CGOGzSSzR6/view?usp=sharing I'm Childless. I’m a Childless Saint. I have never had children. I’m over 57 years OLD. If I have children, it will be a MIRACLE. This document is for those of us who have never had children, and who may never have children. . This first Scripture is both ADVICE and a WARNING! (The second Scripture is better.) In this first Scripture we see that even if a person has a 100 children, but is evil, and dies that way, that a stillbirth is better than their end. I have had both family and friends who have gone out with darkness in their hearts. Very sad, but true. Their Salvation was in question, when they died, and the saddest thing is, it is a sad relief that they are dead. In their case, a stillborn is better off than how they ended up. Ecclesiastes 6:3 KJV 3  If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he. . Now, if a person lives past the bad in their life, and gets past the sin in their life, and somehow goes beyond the evil of their life, and they are blessed to move forward to live a Holy, Righteous, and Pure Life, they will be given a good name for themselves, and their death will be even better than the day they were born. Ecclesiastes 7:1 KJV 1  A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death (is better) than the day of one's birth. . As I was at church today, at the end of church, my fiancé and I were talking to another member about Father's Day. He and I both had never had children, and we both are about the same age. And, we thought there was a Scripture about the childless being given a better name than someone with many children, but we could not remember where the Scripture was. So, I searched for that Scripture today on Father's Day, and found that it was a total of 5 verses. (I.e. Ecclesiastes 6:3 & Ecclesiastes 7:1 & Isaiah 56:3b-5) I had heard of this for many years, but I did not know the 5 verses until today. In studying Isaiah 56:3b-5 I realized I had to include Isaiah 56:1-8! Isaiah 56:1-8 mainly tells us that Jesus welcomes ALL people, even the strangers and the eunuchs. For those who do not know what a eunuch is . . . Ultimately, a eunuch is a child who is made a devotee to someone of authority. That is the definition Jesus just gave me, without going to any reference. Here is this too . . . A long time ago, an authority would order someone to find a male child. Then, the male child would be castrated. Then, there would usually be a ceremony, or an initiation, or a rite. These eunuchs usually watched over, or cared over, the females in the court. And, these eunuchs would serve their masters their entire lives. So, these eunuchs could never have children. Jesus was born a TYPE of eunuch. Jesus wasn’t castrated, but he guarded Himself, and He did NOT sin. Jesus NEVER had children. And, Jesus’ NAME is Above ALL names! Some people are born unable to have children. And, for many reasons, in our time, many have chosen to not have children, or circumstances have caused many people to not be able to have children. In any case, ALL childless Saints are precious in Jesus’ eyes! I know, because I’m a Childless Saint, and Jesus loves me! Isaiah 56:1-8 KJV 1  Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2  Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 3  Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4  For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5  Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6  Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8  The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him. . . .
