TOTD, July 24

Obey Your Parents

It’s good if our parents are exactly the perfect figures for us. We can be proud of them and we can imitate them. But in reality, how many parents are really perfect? Well, as I myself enter parenthood for the last 16 months, I found that it’s not easy to be a parent. And most of all it’s almost impossible to become a perfect parent.
So, we need to give more space of forgiveness to our parents for times that they can’t do what we expect them to do. They’re only human and maybe they’ve been doing their very best all this time.

The good advice from the bible, obey our parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Even though they’re not exactly the kind of father or mother figure that we’ve been dreaming of, but we need to please the Lord by obeying them. They’re our parents after all. (-fon-)

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
--- Colossians 3:20
