“I used to quarrel with my brothers. We even got into physical fights. Our parents had no control over us. For quite a few years we were not on good terms. When I became a Christian, I read the Bible to find out it taught us not to hate my brothers but to love them.
The Word of God has changed my brothers and me. We have stopped fighting. Whenever we feel urge to do that, we feel guilty. Now my brothers and I have lived in peace now because of the Word of God.”
“After the church meeting, a girl named Mary went with her family members for a haircut. When they got close to the door of the barbershop, they saw two kids and started sharing the Word of God with them. The two kids became Christians.
During a children’s ministry meeting, one of the kids cried because he felt moved when heard Christ died for his sin and forgave him.”
“My name is Sue. Our 14-year-old was very clever and active when he was small. He had a wide interest especially reading books from which we took much pride. In the preliminary school, he did well in his studies, but as he was growing up, there was a change in his personality and some problems were exposed. He often talked in class and would lose concentration; the teacher would change his seat again and again.
Our son was getting stranger to us each day and we didn’t know what he was thinking. When he was in the third grade, he once lied to me about playing an internet game at his friend’s house. From then on, I understood that parents would be the first people that kids would like to when they have start to satisfy their own desire.
In Romans it says: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Think of it, how did we love our kids? We often got mad when our kids made mistakes and didn’t behave themselves. We want them to pay back our love for them with good behavior, so our love also has the conditions. The root of the problems between kids and us were because of us--we haven’t loved our kids unconditionally.
Children Bible storybooks have helped the local churches to actively engage in evangelism. Many parents and grandparents have been brought to the Lord through the children’s ministry.
After attending training, my husband and I understood a lot and it has brought about a great change in my family. It benefited my son so much. My son first felt extremely flattered when he found our attitude toward him had completely changed. Now we often talk to each other and the atmosphere is harmonious. In this condition, my son has shown his positive aspect to us. He started to study by himself, do his own work and develop some good habits. He does well in his studies now. Only communication can bring about mutual understanding and love.
My dear brothers and sisters, if you have the same experience as me, and you are confused and helpless in the respect of instructing kids, please take your kids before God and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Let Him to guide you how to love and accept your kids. He will fill your family with love and joy.”
