You and I are the recipients of God’s compassion, not because of some extraordinary goodness within us, but because of God’s great compassion. “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.” (Psalm 103:8) Just as children seek to imitate their parents, so we are to imitate our heavenly Father. It is the only way we will change the world in which we live.
We all want our children to become faithful servants of God as they mature. What values are you working to instill within your children? Are they learning to love God and to devote their lives to Him in faithful service? You cannot lead where you have not gone. If you aren’t a Christian, make the decision today to submit you life to Jesus.
