So today I want to touch on what it means to live in a Godly life and Parent in a Godly way. This does not mean that we get up and go to church every Sunday only to forget what we have been taught after we go home from church. To live a Godly life means to uphold the values that the Bible teaches us that God wants every day of every week of every year. To parent in a Godly way means to instill the values that we have been taught by the Bible into our children. I know myself I have often struggled to live a Godly life, often times I have been persecuted for speaking of the blessings of God. God has done many good works in my life, blessed me beyond measure, and even when I was in the depths of trials, he was always there helping to carry the cross that at moments seemed far too heavy to bear. I have been blessed with family, friends, and the gift of being a mother. I'm in my life trying to parent him in a Godly way. Sometimes I fail in this but I do try. I teach him to love those who have less, those who come from broken homes, who may not have the same values as us.
Which brings me to my next point. My friend had put on her status on facebook that sometimes christian people have cliques among themselves making others feel left out. This is not Christ like at all. It is our job as parents to instill in our children to love each other. We have so many bullies in school because we don't often teach our children to love one another. Sure we speak it but we do not live it, we need to start leading by example, it is not just enough to say something we have to always follow through on it. Our children are watching us, they hear the things we say out of the public eye, and if they see us not practicing what we preach we can't expect them to follow it. It is our duty to form our children into the people they will become in the future.
Love and Light,
Krystal
