Written by Catherine Parks, a contemporary author.
Sometimes our kids feel pressure to define themselves in ways that will cause others to love and accept them. In fact, it’s not just kids who feel that pressure—we all do! But if we can instill in them the hope and peace that comes from knowing they are loved and accepted already, then we can encourage them to be true to who God has created them to be. In a world that is constantly changing, our kids need to know that some things never change, and at the top of that list is God’s love for them. Their tastes will change and their friends will change, but if they are in Christ, then their deepest identity—chosen, holy, and dearly loved—will never change. And that’s the best news ever.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. [Colossians 3:12]
