Our kids learn more from our actions than words.
Like it or not, they are always watching, seeing in us heroes and their first glimpse of God.
We are wired into their hearts.
When Jesus faced crucifixion, a centurion said “Surely this was a righteous man” (Luke 23:47).
When you encounter life’s crosses, what do your children say? “Surely this is a righteous parent”?
Do you forgive wrongs, love opponents, respond gently when they have fits?
Do you come home criticizing others?
Your kids are always watching.
Great parents are daughters and sons of the King first.
They live out faith before lecturing it.
Want to deeply influence your children?
Handle hardship with righteousness.
Actions over words.
Grace under fire.
This leaves a powerful impression of godly character for your kids.
