NO GREATER JOY

 
 
3 John 1:4



"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." NIV


"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." KJV


It is a pleasure for our spiritual leaders to see those under their care prosper in the ways of God. Likewise, the greatest joy and peace that Christian parents can experience is knowing their children are serving the Lord and remaining in His truth. God has entrusted us as caretakers of the church body and our own children to make every effort to be Godly examples and teachers of God's truth to them.


Heavenly Father, we need Your help to be Godly examples to our spiritual children and our offspring. Without our hearts being right before You and living a life of holiness and consistency with Your Word, we will cause our children to stumble. Help us to be Godly teachers and parents so that our children will come to the truth, walk in it, and be holy examples to their children. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Great words here.

And you are so right - it is a delight when our children walk with God. I did many things in my life that caused some stumbling, but God was bigger than my mistakes!

I heartily say a big AMEN to your prayer. Yes, may the Lord help us to offer wise counsel, understanding hearts, and lives that live by the Truth. And may He continue to hold on tightly to our children (even if they're all grown up!)

GOD BLESS!
