8 Scriptures that Demonstrate God's Love and Protection -- I am a mother of three children. Although they are all adults now and have children of their own, I remember how careful I was when I took my children into a store when they were young. I had one child in particular who loved to sneak away and hide when we were in stores. So, I always held his hand to keep him with me, keep him from getting lost, and to protect him from danger.
