our greatest joy

" I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth."
3John 4

This should be our greatest desire and focus for our children.

All other things we may want them to learn, do, and achieve in life, completely pales in comparison to this.

And we can't just leave this to chance, we have to have this as our goal, and daily work on; instructing, guiding, and leading our children in God's word and truth.

And we can't leave this to churches and the pastors, this is our role as parents.



" And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And these words , which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children , and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thy liest down, and when thou risest up.

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates."

Deuteronomy 6: 5-9
It is our role to teach our children the truth.
May we not shirk that duty, but wholly embrace our great role and responsibility as parents. And may it become our greatest joy and desire in life!!
In Him,
Mae
