I was asked “if I could only share one piece of advice with my children, what would it be?”
Wow talk about a loaded question…..and a daunting one at that!
We after two weeks of pondering this question, and sorting through all the “short immediate answers”. I have come up with one that I feel covers it all.
You see every single piece of advice that popped into my head was a verse from the Bible. Whether it be one that encouraged me during a particularly rough time in my life, or one that refocuses my intentions on a daily basis. One that points to the importance of our relationship with Jesus, or how great our God is. I didn’t want leave any of these things out….or all the amazing things in between!
So, here it is…as simple as it seems, and yet still so deep.
The Bible is the only book you will ever need. It God’s instruction book for your life, so read it, re-read it, and re-re-read it. Cherish it. Protect it. Memorize it. Study it. Internalize it. Learn about Jesus through it, and commit your life to it’s words. Learn how much God loves you through it’s pages. Let it words change you. Know that Jesus died for you….accept it, embrace it, live it! If you have nothing else in this world, have a Bible for in it’s pages are the secrets to eternal life, true joy, true peace, and unconditional love!
What about you? What is the one piece of advice you would share with your kids?
