Years ago Belinda and I read the classic book on raising children, Dare to Discipline, by Dr. James Dobson. He talked about breaking the will without crushing the spirit. Proverbs 18:14 isnt about disciplining children, but the same idea is present. The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit. Parents, build up your childs spirit while teaching them healthy boundaries and consequences. Words are powerful. The old adage, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me isnt true! If you have a crushed spirit, get before the Lord and allow Him to renew your spirit, Isa 40:31.
