Parents

From Faith on the Edge,
" 'Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other, just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive' (Colossians 3:13). Even our parents. 'Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you' (Ephesians 4:32). Even our parents. Is your heart like a knotted up fist, full of anger, bitterness or resentment toward your mom and/or dad?
Pray this prayer: Lord, i can't do it. I can't forgive them. I've been hurt too deeply. But, I put my heart in your grip. Lord, I give you authority to loosen the knotted fist of my heart. But you have to do it. I can't.
That's a start. Nobody said loving your parents would be a piece of cake. It takes hard work and a lot of prayer. it takes forgiveness and offering grace. god loves it when you love them. It honors the decision he made to put you in your family.

Do you truly believe God put you in your family because He loves you?
Read 1 Corinthians 1:37 and 1 Corinthians 13, what do these say to you?
When will you see your parents next? What specific things can you do to show your appreciation for them?
How do your parents show love? (and they do show love)
Do you need to forgive your parents for anything?-
