The growth of children is a reflection of their parents' love and bond. If the parents focus on feeding their love, figuring out how to manage conflict, not letting any schism come between them – instructing their children and helping them through constant guidance on their path towards salvation comes naturally and makes them see and feel life in a different way. This week’s Bible study sheds light on how wisdom is utilized in raising and instructing children.

Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
