As adult Christians, we know that sin has serious consequences, but our children may not fully understand. That’s why it’s important that we teach them as much about God’s justice as we do His mercy and love.

What should you do when someone hurts you? We naturally want to retaliate. But Jesus tells us to "do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you."

These insights are based on the "Love Your Enemy" devotional in Dr. James & Shirley Dobson’s book Night Light for Parents (page 211).

This is based on the devotion “Promises, Promises” from Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book, Night Light for Parents.
You probably pray for your children regularly. But do your kids know how much you pray for them? Do they know what you pray for them?
