Deep down, children desire affection and security. Here’s a simple way to provide just that.
Not mature and not adult, children have many fears that they can’t identify, but which they can certainly, even unconsciously, feel as real.
That’s why tucking in your children to bed, and showing them some healthy parental affection, provides a sense of security, love, and bonding that pays big benefits.
It’s a fact that a child who receives identity, value, and security from parents is much less likely to drift into false identities, false significance, and false security elsewhere.
And a child who knows that he or she is loved is much less likely to look for “love” in wrong places, or to become cold and heartless themselves.
So invest in your young sons and daughters. Tuck them in at night. Give them some warm, healthy affection. And step out in faith and pray to Creator God with them. Because knowing that you and God love them can make all the difference inside.
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me. (Psalm 3:5)
