STOP DOUBTING

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

Luke 1: 37 King James Version

I have heard people make this statement “She will never change. My child will never change. They will never change”. Someone said “I kept going to him and saying I’m sorry, and I kept waiting for him to say I’m sorry too, but he never did and he never will”. The Bible says that nothing is impossible with God.

Many people have sent me emails saying their children are out of control and being disrespectful to them. If we don’t show respect to others, they won’t know how to show respect. If they see us being disrespectful to our spouses, other people, and to the laws of the land, they will grow up thinking that is normal.

I submit to you on the Authority of the Word of God that is not the normal thing to be disrespectful to anyone. The Bible says that we are to treat others as we want to be treated and that we are to love others as He Loves them. If our children see us speeding down the road and yelling at the other drivers, they are going to think that it is okay to do that.

We need to realize that we teach our children by the words we say and the things we do. Children are very vulnerable and can be led to do right or wrong. No, nothing is impossible with God. He can do anything. However, we need to do our part in setting the right example for our children.
