Эфесвийриз 5:1-2

Ngesikhathi sePhentekoste, uMoya oNgcwele wanikelwa abafundi bakaJesu, lase lazalwa ibanla. Baningi abantu abanemibuzo ngoMoya oNgcwele. Kulolu hlelo lokufunda kosuku lwesine, uzofunda ngoMoya oNgcwele namandla akhe okuguqula izimpilo zamakholwa.

Children are a blessing from the Lord, no matter the circumstances surrounding their birth (Psalm 127:3).  If you are a father, thank God for it and decide right now that you are going to be what God wants you to be in your children’s lives, a visible, tangible illustration of Him, no matter what choices you’ve made to this point.  Being a good father really is not as complicated as you might think!  All you have to do is love your children like your Heavenly Father loves you.

Paul, a liberated prisoner of the Lord, begged the church at Ephesus “to walk in a manner worthy of the calling.” We are the Father’s representatives on earth and our calling is to represent Him well. As you strive to live a vibrant life or an abundant life, you become more certain of His calling and choosing of you.
