Ephesians 6:4
Fatherhood and Parenting

As we seek to parent our children, the heavenly Father is parenting everyone in the room.  Like our children, we need to grow and mature.  Like our children, we haven’t progressed beyond the need for a Father’s care.  Like our children, we need a Father who will not turn His back on us even thought we stumble and fall again and again.  God hasn’t just sent you to do His work in the lives of your children; He will use the lives of your children to advance His work in you.   

Paul David Tripp
