Let Our Children Be Our Example


Parents who have nurtured, cared and raised their children in love, compassion and understanding, will always reap the ultimate reward, and that is, the love and loyalty of their children. This does not happen overnight and takes years of sacrifice.

This is why children who grew up in a loving family, despite the fact that their parents would scold them whenever they do wrong, would always return to their parents no matter what happens. In fact, even if they feel hurt, they would ultimately run back to the arms of their parents.

That is faith. It is the act of total surrender. It overcomes the hurt and replaces the latter with trust and love.

Just like us adults, in our journey with our God. How many times have we asked God the question, “Why? Why me Lord? What did I do wrong? Am I that sinful for you to effect such an unbearable punishment?”
