RAISE YOUR CHILDREN WITH A BALANCE OF ADMONITION AND AFFIRMATION
Wisdom is justified by her children. Dear ones, the good and bad seeds that you plant in others become your children. They are your fruit. Take heed to plant good seeds so that you reap a good harvest.
It is wise to plant seeds with a balance of affirmation and admonition. A child raised with too much correction will become a harvest of condemnation, shame and self rejection. A child raised in only affirmation and praise will become proud and independent. Choose to balance correction with encouragement so that the seeds you plant in your children will produce a good crop. In all things, always plant with love.
2 Cor 9:6-11 NKJV
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
