REASSURE THEM

“For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”

Hebrews 12:6 KJV

God has had to take me out to His woodshed several times when I hurt Him and was disobedient.  However, when God takes us out to His woodshed, He always reassures us that He still loves us. Parents need to reassure their children that they still love them even though they are being punished.

May God help us to be loving parents who reassure our children that we still love them even though we have to punish them.  How heartbreaking it would be if God stopped loving us when we hurt Him and disobeyed Him.  Our Heavenly Father is a tender compassionate Father Who loves us all the time.

Heavenly Father, help us to be parents who reassure our children that no matter how many times they disobey us we will still love them.  May we be parents who lead our children to Jesus not only by our words, but especially by our actions.  May they see Jesus in us.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
