Here’s something every loving Christian parent would like to say to their child…
“My son (or daughter), if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad! My inmost being will exult when your lips speak what is right! Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear [or reverence] of the Lord all the day. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.” (Proverbs 23:15–18 ESV)
Here’s some wise advice from an ol’ pastor… Start communicating that early (but don’t be afraid to communicate it prayerfully when they are older)! Communicate it lovingly… and let them know how much it means to you as their parent! Hey, it’s worth it!!!
