Parenting Through God’s Lens: Seeing Your Child the Way God Doesნიმუში

DAY 3 – Reflecting God’s Heart as a Parent

Scripture:

“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” – Ephesians 5:1–2 (NIV)

Devotional:

Children learn about God’s love by watching us. Every hug, correction, and word of encouragement paints a picture of His heart.

When you parent through God’s lens, you realize it’s less about control and more about connection. God parents us with patience, compassion, and correction rooted in love — and He calls us to do the same.

When your child fails, it’s your chance to reflect His heart — steady, forgiving, and faithful. Let your presence remind them that God’s love doesn’t change, even when they fall short.

Reflection:

What picture of God am I painting for my child through my parenting?

Prayer:

Dear Lord, help me reflect your heart in my parenting. Teach me to lead with truth, correct with love, and guide with humility. Amen.
