Ephesians 6:4 New International Version (NIV)
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your
children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the
Lord.
Malachi 4:6 promised that fathers and children would be
reunited in heart. Let's make that true in our homes by nurturing and
correcting our children — with a balance between nurture and correction. Let's
not make our faith so full of rules and restrictions that it becomes impossible
for our children to hear that they are our beloved children, with whom we are
very pleased! Let's not grant so much freedom that our children feel neglected
and uncertain. Let's turn our hearts toward them and pray for God to turn their
hearts toward their home with us and their home with you!
Thought for today:
Am I so rigid in my instructions that it allows no room for personal
experience?
