Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
I honestly cannot remember my parents ever using this one against me! I’m not sure what I would have thought about it then…
I have seen so many parents blame children for their splitting up or for their failures when they should be looking squarely at themselves instead.
Children should be what holds a family together because we should love our children unconditionally just as God loves us; which should make it easy for them to obey this verse.
If we cannot be trusted then how can we ask our children to trust us? If we cannot love, then how can we ask them to love us?
