The day your firstborn child was born you embarked on the most important assignment of your life. The Lord charged you with the awesome responsibility of raising an emotionally whole and spiritual strong young person. In that endeavor nothing is more important than the gift of your presence and the wisdom of your godly counsel and guidance. Unconsciously your child will attribute to God the Father the strengths and weaknesses he sees in you his earthly father. If you fail as a father, all your other achievements will be diminished.
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)
Lord impress upon our hearts the awesome responsibility of parenting our children. Amen.
