Parenting is one of the most important responsibilities we ever have. In order to be really successful, it is essential for us, and for our children, that we understand our role.
As stewards of children for only a relatively short period of their life, we are striving to put ourselves “out of business” in their life. It starts with the primary understanding that they do not belong to us. They belong to the Lord.
The only way we can feel good about “turning loose” is knowing they are held tight in His hand. As we encourage our children to develop a stronger relationship with Christ, we can comfortably back away. After all, He is the one who will be there no matter where they are. (When they’re driving, off at college, out with friends, anywhere) If they make decisions based on their relationship and desire to please God, the choices they make will bless them and us. It’s like handing them over to someone who knows them better and loves them more than we ever could.
