Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.– Colossians 3:21 (NIV)

Today’s commentary

by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible

This is an important reminder…for in our quest to make life run smoothly, we can become so demanding that we drive our children away from us. Children need their fathers (and mothers) to give instruction and protection, but at a pace that kids can handle. Don’t sacrifice your child’s sense of worth on the altar of expectations that may not be realistic.
