“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” ~ Proverbs 22:6
Train your child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they won’t depart from it. From a young age teach your children to honor, respect, follow, serve, and fear God, and when they are old, they will continue in those ways. Teach them to read the Bible. Teach them to memorize scripture. Teach them to stand up for what is right. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to trust God. Teach them to have respect for all people. Teach them to value life. And when they’re grown and move out, they won’t stray from those teachings.
If you’ve done that and your child seems farther from God than ever before, don’t be discouraged, hold to this promise. They may be going through a time of rebellion or straying from the path, but if you continue in prayer and faith, your child will return to the Truth.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Hold To The Promise.
