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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!
