Do You Remember To See The Best In Your Children?

I was talking to a neighbor of mine recently who was talking about the trials she has been experiencing with her high school children and as we were talking: Marvin Sapp's song: The Best In Me came on in the background. Sapp is one of my favorite gospel singers because his songs simply inspire you.  While she was talking, I kept hearing in the background the words: "he saw the best in me." So I turned it up to let her hear it because it was so timely.

Here's the thing, our children may disappoint us sometimes. It's natural. People, and kids too, are only human. Despite our best efforts, they simply do things we don't like, things we know may lead them astray, things that may scare us. But, for all our love and concern, just remember they are children of God and that God sees the best in them and so should we. This doesn't mean not to intervene or have concerns but simply that as parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends, we always need to be there to support them, love them and offer as much help when things go astray. It's important to always see the best in them because when we do, we allow them to continue to see the best in themselves and that is always the path to redemption.
