![]() ![]() ![]() Since independent ability, like independent right-eousness, is a delusion, why would a God of perfect wisdom ask inadequate people to do such an important job? The answer is so crucial to grasp. None of us has the natural storehouse of wisdom, strength, patience, mercy, and perseverance that every parent needs in order to do his or her job well. ![]() It's not a sign of personal weakness or failure of character to feel unable as a parent. God did not create human beings to be independently able he designed us to be dependent. The reason for this is that there are no able people out there. The disciples weren't able, and the story goes on. If you read your Bible carefully, you will understand that God doesn't call able people to do important things. God doesn't call people to be parents because they are able. Understanding God's grace will change you, and as it changes you, it will change the way you relate to and parent your children. There is nothing more important to consistent, faithful, patient, loving, and effective parenting than to understand what God has given you in the grace of his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. ![]()
