Do you ever feel like parenting is just about rules, discipline, and making sure your kids behave? What if the real key to lasting impact isn’t behavior at all—but their hearts?
God cares deeply about our hearts, and so should we. A child who loves God from the heart will naturally live in obedience—not out of fear, but out of love.
Scripture/Insight:
Proverbs 4:23 says: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
When we teach, guide, and nurture our children’s hearts, we equip them to make God-honoring choices even when no one is watching.
Reflection/Action:
Today, spend intentional time connecting with your child—listen to them, pray together, or share a story from Scripture. Ask God to show you how to guide their heart rather than just their behavior.
In Raising Godly Children, I share practical ways to nurture your child’s heart toward Jesus, helping them grow in faith, character, and love.
Closing Encouragement:
Remember, obedience is important, but a heart captured by Christ lasts a lifetime. Small moments of love, prayer, and guidance today are shaping eternity for your children.
