Has your son become your idol?

That may seem like a ridiculous question. But for even the most well-intentioned parents, their son’s happiness and success can consume their entire life, to the point that it becomes more important than their relationship with GOd.

Take some time to sit with God and reflect on your relationship with your son. Are you willing to discipline him to develop his character, even if it means he is angry with you? Do you obsess over controlling what he’s exposed to?  It may be time to step back, ask the Holy Spirit to influence your son, and exercise your trust in God.

It may be the best thing you’ve ever done for your son.
