He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that
loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs, Chapter 13, verse 24.
Parents often feel guilty for being away from their
children with their work and other things that take them away from home. At times, some parents over compensate by
giving their children all they desire, overlooking the child’s disobedience
without realizing how counterproductive it is.
If an Overcompensating Christian parent gives in to a child’s demands when they are young and
doesn’t provide appropriate consequences for misbehavior, do you think that
child will behave any differently as a teenager or adult? Maybe correcting children and having
reasonable expectations for them while they’re young would be to their best advantage. Our ultimate goal should be that they grow
into responsible, Christian men and women.
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
