8 Truths That Have Penetrated Because of Kids

On June 8, 2011 by Chad Stuart

I’ve learned more about God’s love for His children from my two sons than from anything else I have experienced in my life! 

Here is what I have learned: (a lot of these are what I have learned from my oldest, because he is 2 going on 3 and Landon is 10 months:)).

1. Grace comes easy to God. I’ve already forgiven Dayton before he says sorry. 

2. God’s discipline is done in love. I can honestly say there is only one time that I disciplined Dayton in anger, otherwise my discipline has genuinely come from a loving place.

3. God’s discipline helps me grow as an individual.  Christina and I have seen changes in our son in the positive through discipline.

4.God is obsessed with saving me/humanity (His children). I know this because lately the greatest thing on my mind and in my prayers is, “please Jesus help me to raise my boys to love You!” I am desirous above all other things that my children will be in the Kingdom of Heaven with their Creator & Savior.

5. God’s love is limitless.  I love fully both my boys and I want more children because although I never knew before I could love this much, I know that no matter how many children I have I will still have enough love to give.

6. God sees His children as beautiful.  I am sure my kids aren’t the most beautiful kids that exist in the world (though pretty close:)), but to me I see the handsomest young boys ever created.

7. God’s love is not influenced by my actions.  Landon cried for almost 2 hours straight the other night…never once did my love waver!

8. Jesus would have died even if it was for just me and no one else. I would lay down my life in a heartbeat for either one of my boys.

Thank you God for helping me to know more about you through my two sons, so that I may love you more in my life!
