Dear Child,
I will continue to lovingly instruct or rebuke you until you have proven your trustworthiness in the responsibilities you have been given. This is a responsibility entrusted to me by God.
Love,
Mom
The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Proverbs 29:15
Prayer:
My Father, I know I am responsible for training my children in wisdom. Part of that is teaching them responsibility even when I am disliked because of it. I will continue to patiently instruct and rebuke them wherever necessary knowing that in doing this I am honoring what You have entrusted to me and minimizing any shame that maybe brought upon myself and most importantly You. Amen.
Truth in love,
Heather
