God has vision. He sees not just who people are, but what they can become.
People looked at David and saw a shepherd boy; God saw a king. Peter denied the Lord three times, but Jesus called him a “rock” and used him to build His church.
Effective parenting also requires vision. Every child struggles to find his or her identity. Engaged parents look beyond where their child is right now and catch a vision for who he or she can become. That begins by raising children to be resilient with a solid identity in Christ. That’s no easy task considering how social media, challenges at school, and social pressures whittle away a child’s self-confidence.
On Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, my guest Cyndie Claypool de Neve is offering an approach to parenting that helps children grow into strong, functional adults.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).
