The first way to bless your children is to “bless them with words.” God is a God of blessing. The Bible makes that very clear. God not only pours strength and grace upon us, but also makes us messengers of blessings, just as he made Abraham the source of blessings. God allows us to pass on His grace to others. One of the main means of doing that is the words we use in our daily life.
Today's text teaches us about the importance of words. (verse 21) says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. In everyday life, even in casual conversations, the words parents say to their children stifle and adversely affect young minds, or they grow and strengthen them. The words we use can make life messy or enriching.
“The words of a careless person are like daggers, but the words of a wise man are medicine for a sick person” (Proverbs 12:18).
As parents, we have every day an opportunity to tell our children life or death. Speaking of ‘death’, that is, destroying children’s self-esteem and destroying their vision, the Bible calls a ‘curse’. Even if it doesn't hurt, if you are stingy and lazy in 'praising' your children, you can be guilty of rusting their hearts.
The Bible says that not doing what we should be doing can also be a sin. Are you praising your children and praising them when they need to be encouraged? Failure to do so is a crime of non-compliance. Parents' blessings for encouraging, encouraging, and upbuilding their children in the little things of everyday life, such as when their children are seated at the table on time or when they have finished their homework, are disappearing.
When someone compliments me on a third person, I always pass the compliment on to the target person. They all reacted the same. “Oh, really? Thank you. It feels really good to hear that. I would have been even happier if I had heard from him directly.” Everyone will. Subordinates and bosses, students and teachers, husbands and wives, children and parents want to be admired. But why can't we compliment each other?
The word used to ‘commend’ another person comes from the Greek word ‘eurogeo’, which means ‘to praise’. People praise the deceased at funerals. But it is a pity that the dead cannot hear our praise or praise. How sad this is!
(Proverbs 25:11) says, “A word suitable for the occasion is apples of gold in a silver platter.” A proper expression of gratitude to the other person, whether alone or with a group, is the highest praise for the person being honored. Now is the right time to praise your children for such blessings. Praise the kids right now so they don't listen too late!
“Do not let bad words come out of your mouth, but if there is a word necessary for edification, say it at the appropriate time, that it may be a favor to those who hear it” (Ephesians 4:29).
how to compliment
1. Find something to praise and praise it!
Do you want to praise your children or those around you, but there is nothing worthy of praise? but steady
If you look closely, you will soon discover the good in that person. Praise sincerely for that. It is an empty blessing to simply praise with empty words, thinking that there is nothing to praise. It is by no means a blessing, and it can even have negative consequences.
2. Praise sincerely!
Compliments given dryly reveal their true identity quickly, leaving only bitterness in both the giver and the receiver. But sincere compliments are the best way to earn the trust of those around you.
There is nothing better than parental praise!
<Prayer>
1. For the sake of our children - let us bless them with words!
2. For the students - Add wisdom and understanding! Add strength to your body and soul! May the blessing of Jehovah-jireh be with you!
3. For the sick
