If parents were to ask me, " What is the greatest gift we could give our young child?" i would answer rather quickly : a sensitive spirit. That is especially rare among busy parents who live under the demands of hurried schedules, constantly doing battle with the tyranny of the urgent. Nevertheless, my counsel to you would be, give your child the time it takes to find out how he or she is put together. Help your child know how he or she is. Discuss those things with your children. Help them know themselves so they would know how to love and accept mistakes. Then as they move into a society that seems commited to pounding them into another shape, they will remain true to themselves, secure in their independent walk with God.
I have begun to realize that secure, mature people are best described in fifteen words. They know who they are.. they like who they are.. they are who they are.. They are real.
