A God-honoring path

Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Psalm 127:3: "Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord."

Clearly, His Word teaches us that training our children to know and obey God is the basis for living a life that is pleasing to Him.

As parents, we should help them understand their God-given gifts, abilities, and characteristics they were born with. God made them the way He wanted them to be. Our job is to encourage and help our children discover his or her own self and to choose God-honoring paths. Don't put pressure on them to live out our dream. Pray that God gives us wisdom, patience, and kindness to help them make the most of their life so that they can live in harmony with God's design ...not ours. It is hard to be disciplined by God, but He does it for our good. Same with our children, when we discipline them, they receive wisdom to make wise choices. When they mature, their success will show that they chose a God-honoring path and it will be a legacy everyone can enjoy with them.  

Love in Christ,
Tera
