What is love in relation to children?

 Many parents say they love their children, yet they clearly don't. We all, as adults, hate children in some way, in some form. Love for a child is something that is a conviction, meaning something God strikes into an otherwise wretched, depraved adult. 

Love for a child is based on a conviction to do good works for children, namely reverent fear, as denoted by the Greek root word ψοβός (Latin: phobos) and refers to being convicted by God of the every need of a child, leading to surrender to God through one's child, placing one's power and control over children at their footstool, otherwise not deserving to even exist in relation to children, with every single adult guilty of some form of abuse of child, at least by capacity, at least by non-existence. It is submission to the every vulnerable need of children as their enemy, just as mankind is the enemy of God, with adults paying due penance to children just as to God. It is sacrifice for one's child just as Christ sacrificed for His children, rendering oneself beneath them in terms of level, devaluing oneself as a servant and caregiver in such a role, ministering to and serving the needs of children, with children being in place of God, expecting absolutely nothing in return. This love is known as Agape love, and is denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to selfless submission to your neighbor, which is the duty of every Christian. The results are documented in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest and trust in the love and grace of parents, being able to share anything and be anyone in relation to parents, yet nonetheless showing gratitude for children by way of hearing the voice of parents, understanding what parents ask for on a developmentally-appropriate level, leading to obedience and heeding instruction towards parents, following the reassuring, nurturing voice of mothers especially, but also fathers, using voice imprinting instead of punishment to obtain cooperation from children. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to any offense perceived by a child about the entitled behavior of an adult, with children judging whether they are loved or hated by parents, and parents and adults alike changing their attitudes around children based on how children respond to their presence and interaction with said children. Anything that the child perceived as offensive under biblical times, that came from parental entitlement, was an offense against children. When a child is offended, you hate them, and always did, until you make amends with your child. Then you loved them all along. These offenses included corporal punishment of children as assault and battery, as well as other torts and damages under the Eighth Commandment. All good works for children, meaning service to children, must be with the child's informed consent, meaning if they can do it themselves or want to try doing something for themselves, let them.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Love is a verb, not a feeling for children, but can channel any feeling into doing good for children, and doing good works for your neighbor, meaning children in this case, is what love really is. If you punish your child, you hate your child, and thus hate God! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
