DO BETTER by the grace of God! #parenthood #motherhood #fatherhood #raisingchildren #jesus

It's not pleasing to the Lord when you treat everybody else and other people's kids with the fruit of the Spirit, but with your own, you're mean, you're nasty, you're cold-hearted, you standoffish, you reject them, you talk about them to other people. They overhear you on the phone running your mouth about them and badmouthing them to other people on the phone, telling all their business. This doesn't please the Lord. You are called as a parent to disciple your children. They are to learn the ways of God at home first. So that when they go out here in the world, they, they can be successful and thrive among other human beings. And so it doesn't please the Lord when you don't treat them with honor and respect, and then you're ready to throw a fit, yell, do all the things that you do when they reflect that same behavior back to you. But they learned it from somewhere, and chances are they learned it from you. We really need to repent of this today, get it right by the grace of God, and do better.
