If you’re here, you’re probably a parent, carer, grandparent or children’s worker who just wants to do your best for the kids in your care.
That’s Amazing! God really, really loves children and so do we. So let us support you. Each month we feature a parent, an expert or an author who has something to help you disciple your children and lead them to Jesus.
“It’s not fair” - Is God generous?
by Bryony Wells, blogger, podcaster, mother, friend
“It’s not fair” - has anyone else heard that phrase this week? Whether it’s food portion sizes, time spent on computer games or whether or not they need to have a shower, it seems fairness is a big deal in our house!
I find it all too easy to jump into chastising my children for not being ‘grateful enough’ or not ‘understanding how blessed they are’. However I’ve come to realise that I am more like my children than I care to admit when it comes to fairness. I’m learning that my posture towards God is often one of expecting fairness and of crying ‘it’s not fair” when things don’t fit my version of fairness and justice. When I watch God’s blessing fall on others while at the same time my prayers stand unanswered it’s all too easy for my heart to cry “it’s not fair”.
Is God Very Strong?
by Joanne Gilchrist, writer and founder of Ruach Resources
What version of this question have you or your child ever asked? Perhaps “Can God help me?”, “Will God protect me?” or even “Why didn’t God protect them….?” I’d love to shed some light on where God can be found in the storms of life and how you can help your child run to the strong tower of God and his word.
