In honor of mother’s day, I thought it would be a perfect time to discuss the relationship between you and your parents in relation to elevation. As God continues to elevate you it’s important that you understand the importance of having healthy relationships especially with the people who produced you into this world.
Many times we don’t understand the importance of the relationship God places with our mother and father. The text says to “honor your father and mother so that your may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12)
But what does it mean to honor your parents? It means to place value and have respect for your parents despite their shortcomings. Yes, your parents are not going to be perfect and they may have done things that you do not necessarily agree with but you are to still respect them and submit to them as unto the Lord. You do not want to miss out on your blessing because of the bitterness and disrespect you show toward your parents. I encourage you to reach out to your parents to start the process of mending any broken relationships. God blesses obedience.
Here are three tips to help you mend a broken relationship with your parents:
Be quite. Often times as children we think we have to have the last word. Or to get our point across but let God fight your battles he has the final say.
Submit to your parents as you do unto God even when they have done wrong wrong by you. God will blesses your obedience.
Pray and ask God to heal your relationship. God heals broken relationships.
