LET'S SHOW OUR TEENAGER THE SAME GRACE THAT GOD HAS SHOWN US

Grace is getting what you don't deserve and Mercy is getting what you do deserve.This is the moment as a parent that you were created for.This is not the time to show your authority but to show them your wisdom as a spiritual leader by showing them your love, wisdom, mercy and grace. Use this moment to show them the same grace and mercy that God has shown you. Use this moment to define who you really are as a Parent of integrity.

Show them the wisdom and unconditional love of a Parent that they remembered from you as a toddler. Speak from your heart and show them that you may not always understand them but that you will always support them and that you will always be there for them.

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight." Philippians 1:9

"Do it God's way and do what Jesus would do, Love your way back into your teenager's heart!" And always praise God for this even before you see any evidence that God has answered your heartfelt prayer. Because that's faith and you cannot please God without faith. And I promise that you will be blessed for it!

And years from now when you sit down with your older son/daughter who is no longer a teenager. They will know that you were right and that they were wrong many times when they had shared conflicts with you. And they will not look at you as a parent who was so forceful and stubborn from the old school ways, but as a wiser parent who used unconditional love, unconventional wisdom and a life like Jesus would do.

And one day they too will be a parent and because you have broken the bond and curse of rebellion in your family tree. Your children, and their children for generations to come will lead a more blessed life for it. And when that moment comes for them as it does for all parents. And they have to deal with a difficult moment between their teenager.

"The Godly walk with integrity, blessed are their children after them." Proverbs 20:7

 Because you took the first step to break the curse of rebellion. Their will be continual blessings and harmony in your later years as a wise grandparent. Because your now grown up child will have lead by your example of showing grace and mercy to their children instead of anger and hurtful speaking. 

 And when things don't go right with their teenagers, Your kids who are now parents will remember when they too made their share of mistakes with you. Your legacy that you have passed down to your children of  unconditional love and respect, where they have learned not to  meet force with force. They will have learned God's wisdom to become a blessing instead of a curse to their children. 

Your grandchildren will pass down blessings that started with you from generation to generation to their children and their children's children. Break the curse of bitterness, resentment and rebellion. Give them a life blessed with total forgiveness and unconditional love and they too will have learned how to win their kids back into their hearts! Your own children will understand one day,  that it started with you because you cared enough to lead by example by showing your family what Jesus would do.  

And it is from you breaking the bonds and curses in your families life that may have been past on for generations, to receiving God's blessings and favors for generations to come. And it is from this place of spiritual harmony that you as a parent can truly glorify God as your cup of joy runneth over!

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6

God believes in you
