Malachi 4:6 He will turn the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children to their parents, so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse. * * * * * * * You dont even have to be a parent to know how crucial and influential the role of a parent is in a childs life. If that child grows into a parent then the cycle of influence continues. Our parents imprint us with values and ways of looking at ourselves and the world that we either embrace or choose to reject. We have a push-pull journey on the most part with our parents that affects us both. When God speaks through prophets to describe the restoration of a nation, of a whole people, God often speaks of this most fundamental relationship as the seed-corn of a new age. Our most fundamental understanding of love begins inside a parent and child. Love isnt the kind of thing we would want our children to have to pick up on the streets because they didnt learn it at home. Great nations arise from educated hearts. * * * * * * * Holy God, teach our hearts to turn to you. Amen. ELOGOS is written by Deb Grant, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church, Dickinson, Texas.
