Today's Scripture *February 10, 2010*

Colossians 3: 20-21

Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged.

Children must be handled with care. They need firm discipline administered in love. Parents should not aggravate them by nagging, deriding, or destroying their self-respect so that they quit trying. We never want a child thinking," I'll never be good enough for them."

However, the opposite problem occurs when parents are afraid to correct a child for fear of stifling some aspect of their personality or losing his or her love. Single parents or parents who cannot spend much time with a child may be prone to indulgence. But such children, especially, need the security of guidance and structure. Boundaries and guidelines will not embitter a child. Instead, they will set the child free to live securely within the boundaries. And always remember to encourage your child! Even if you yourself are not a parent--are you encouraging the children around you? As the church body we need to be there to encourage these growing children of God and support the parents as we all work together to see children become all that the Lord has called them to be!

Thank You Jesus, for children! Thank You for the privilege of being called a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, an aunt, an uncle, and a friend. Help us to give out love and encouragement to those children around us. Help us to give support and a shoulder to the parents we interact with. Lord, we want to see a generation of children raised up to serve You with all their hearts! Show us what we can do to see Your Kingdom come! In Jesus' Name, Amen..

Have a blessed day in Him!
