Your Question:
What will my children think of me when they grow up?
Answer:
As a father, I've come to realize that my children are constantly observing and learning from me. They mimic my tone of voice, expressions on my face, and the way I communicate. This is a humbling thought, as it means that my children are essentially copying my attitude towards God. If I don't have a heart of obedience, how can I expect them to develop one? This is a crucial aspect of parenting, as it sets the tone for their spiritual development. When I think about what my children will think of me when they grow up, I want them to see a father who is devoted to his faith and is passionate about serving the Lord. I want them to know that I'm not just a pastor, but a man who loves and serves Jesus. I want them to see that my relationship with God is real and authentic, and that it guides my decisions and actions. I hope that they will look back on their childhood and remember a father who was present, loving, and supportive. As my children Joshua and Rebecca grow older, I want them to develop a strong sense of identity and purpose in Christ. I want them to know that they are loved and valued, not just by me, but by their Heavenly Father. I want them to be confident and radiant, knowing that they are a child of God and that they have a unique role to play in His kingdom. By modeling a life of obedience, love, and service, I hope that my children will grow up to be passionate Jesus followers, just like I am.
