Let’s be real…
Kingdom parents
Let me ask you something…
If God knocked on your door right now…
and handed you a 5-year-old child and said:
“Here… watch this child for me. I’ll be back later.”
I bet everything in me…
you would handle that child differently.
You would be gentle.
You would be patient.
You would be attentive.
You wouldn’t talk down to them.
You wouldn’t ignore them.
You wouldn’t feed them just anything.
You wouldn’t second guess the assignment.
You might feel nervous. You might feel unsure.
But you wouldn’t let those feelings stop you from showing up fully.
Because if God Himself handed you that child
-But what about the child already in your house?
Yes… you may have physically created them…
But God still signed off and delivered that child to you for such a time as this.
So let’s be real…
Why do we treat one with more care than the other?
Because if God handed you that child directly:
You wouldn’t yell as quickly.
You wouldn’t dismiss their feelings.
You wouldn’t be inconsistent.
You wouldn’t avoid correcting them.
You wouldn’t get tired and just “let it slide.”
You wouldn’t speak to them any kind of way.
You wouldn’t question if you’re the right parent… you’d KNOW you were chosen.
You would show up different.
So what changed?
Is it the child…
or is it our perception?
Because the truth is…
The child in your house right now…
was still assigned to you by God.
Not by accident.
Not by chance.
On purpose.
So let me ask you:
Do you think our perception is off?
Why do we sometimes value what feels “given” over what we’ve been trusted with every day?
