Children amuse us with their sincere and often spontaneous comments.
One day, like every morning, the boys did their chores and my three-year-old daughter fell silent in another room in the house. A very quiet child is a child who does a kind of ‘?Article. ? She was really there, chalk in hand and scratched wall. So I went where I was to confirm his paternity of this “art. “She looked at me with a sincere look and said, “No, Mom!?(That’s because there was only her in that room in the house. )Wondering if I’d keep giving that answer, I asked again, and she kept telling me it wasn’t her. That’s when I insisted in a firmer voice, “My child, tell the truth!”She looked at me with a sincere look and said, “That’s right, Mom!”
I confess that I had to stop laughing, while the incident made me think a lot about the truth and my children.
I have to show my daughter what the truth is, what it means, where the truth comes from and how important the truth will be in her life. We live in a time when truth is forgotten and distorted. Like my daughter, children must be found and released by truth.
So here are three great truths we must teach our children
The Bible says that our hearts are deceptive and that we should not trust them (Jer 17:9). When Adam and Eve sinned in Eden, our thoughts, desires, and actions were corrupted by sin. Since then, our hearts have created perceptions that distort the model of God the Creator. These distortions seduce us in a life immersed in our desires. So we live one, don’t we? Relative and individual.
The problem is complicated when what I think is true is not my neighbor’s truth, the result is conflict, not peace, confusion, not clarity, our children need to know that when they are at the mercy of their hearts, they are easily deceived and confused, as a result, they experience anger, sadness, emotional confusion and lies.
If our hearts are deceptive and we cannot trust them, how are we going to help our children understand their hearts and truly fill them?
Back in the Garden of Eden, where God begins to write the beautiful story of redemption, we witness how He created and commanded the world with His Truth truly filled, everything was done in a more perfect and beautiful way, consistently and correctly.
However, Genesis 3 tells a sad dialogue where truth is questioned, since then we have faced a questioning of God’s truth, this is Satan’s great work: to test the Word of God, Satan creates doubts about the truth of the Creator’s words.
Thus, children and parents are bombarded daily by these lies in drawings, films, books, magazines, ideas and conversations that divert our attention from the Word of God and feed our deceptive hearts.
The passage from 2 Timothy 3:16 contributes to our reflection. The Word of God, the Bible, teaches us what is true, rebukes us, and corrects us. As mothers, as we learn the truths contained in this book, we will work to put the truths in the hearts of our children and to be able to teach them. them, I myself need to live daily and learn from the Word. I know it is often difficult and burdened, but the urgency of our children’s eternity and our own lives must motivate us to protect our hearts from deception.
Proverbs 23. 23 describes truth as an agent who brings wisdom, education, and knowledge to our children. Children trained to know the truth of God’s word are hardly deceived; know that lying leads to destruction. This disobedience and dishonor toward parents leads to concrete dangers in their daily lives, they also know that looking at the things the Lord does not like brings guilt to the conscience, they learn that it is better to give than to receive. They know that the word of God will bring light, not confusion. It’s a life that pleases God!
The great truth of humanity is in the history written by God, this story begins with creation and tells us how fears and mistakes take shape in the autumn, however, from an uncertain and terrifying future, the true great love of this story is described: expected, incarnate, dead and risen. He’s alive! What a great truth.
Living here, he presented himself as the truth. He said, “I am the way, and the truth and the life no one comes unto the Father only for me” (John 14:6).
According to Ephesians 2. 1, we die because of our sins, but Christ Jesus is the true way that frees us and our children from the enslaving deception of sin and brings eternal life.
This is the great hope I can teach my children: the gospel!The gospel that will completely transform the lives of our children will take them out of the bondage of sin, the deception of Satan, and the world, may they be new creatures in Christ. sanctified day after day by his Word (Jn 17:17), illuminating where they are for the glory of God, to respond in faith!
And as a mother, I must strive to present these truths to my children, while I stand, walk, cook, lead, pray, and correct certain “arts. “
Pastoring the hearts of children is a job on how to speak to the hearts of our children. The things your child says and what he does come from the heart. Luke 6. 45 says it in the following words: “The mouth speaks of what is full in the heart. “Written for parents who have children of all ages, this information book offers perspectives and procedures for uniting the child’s heart into lifestyles.
