The very heart of God is to bless His children. When parents provide encouragement and affirmation rooted in God’s Word, they reflect His divine character and foster their children’s growth in a positive and meaningful way. Words of love and acceptance hold incredible power. As the world is often marked by negativity, as God’s people, we are called to be a channel of blessings to our children. Parents can provide their children’s basic needs and may have good intentions for their upbringing. However, good intentions alone cannot ensure their children’s well-being or success. It is essential to communicate with words; without this communication, intentions are ineffective. Every positive affirmation you offer your children reinforces their sense of self-worth. The need for affirmation is significant in the hearts of your children. As parents, use your words to encourage your children.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4, NLT)
Are your children looking for their identity in external things? Seeking identity in job, appearance, salary, or grades is temporary. If they base their identity on temporary things, they will soon set up for disappointment. They can succeed in life if they find security in God’s love.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.” (1 John 3:1, NIV)
God created each child to be unique; there are no carbon copies. Every child is endowed with great potential, and their identity must be rooted in who they are in Christ.
Every parent wants their children to have a great marriage. It can be difficult for parents to witness their children choosing the wrong partner. Therefore, parents must commit to praying for their children before they enter any relationship. This commitment to prayer can make a significant difference in guiding their children toward the right partner.
“Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the LORD can give an understanding wife.” (Proverbs 19:14, NLT)
