Biblical Answer

When your children grow up and you're not there to see it, there are several possibilities. One is that they will be successful and achieve great things, but not necessarily because of your efforts. As the Bible says, "Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings" (Proverbs 22:29). This means that your child's success is not necessarily tied to your involvement or achievement, but rather to their own hard work and God-given abilities.

Another possibility is that your child will struggle with their own faith and purpose in life. If you have not taught them to have faith in God and His Word, they may struggle to find their place in the world. As the Bible says, "Kids without faith have a harder time in life. Kids without faith have no positive motivation, no sense of purpose, and no hope for the future" (Ephesians 6:4). This is why it's so important to teach your children about God and His plan for their lives.

Ultimately, the outcome of your child's life is not entirely up to you. While you can provide guidance and support, you cannot control their choices or outcomes. As the Bible says, "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases" (Proverbs 21:1). This means that God is ultimately in control of your child's life, and that He will guide them towards their destiny, regardless of your involvement or lack thereof. This can be a comforting thought, as it means that your child's future is in good hands, even if you're not there to see it.
