Does this world’s evil trouble you?
From bullies to illness to mental health struggles, how do we teach kids to face darkness?
The answer is disarmingly simple.
As Jesus says, it’s love that overcomes.
God’s love given first through his representative - you the parent.
When asked the key to eternal life, Jesus replies "Love God fully and love your neighbor as yourself" (Luke 10:25-28).
Do that, he says, and you will truly live.
If we want kids to thrive through struggles, the greatest gift is love.
Feeling beloved by God and family fortifies them to combat evil.
How do we love kids?
See them as God’s creation, not irritants.
Discipline gently.
Delight in them.
Give encouragement.
Light up when they enter.
Hug their neck even when “too old.”
Love is an attitude and way of interacting that fills their inner being.
When kids fully receive love, they gain strength to face outer turmoil.
Love is the ultimate weapon against evil’s power to destroy.
