It is hard being a parent. We have much to juggle and clashing with our children is the last thing we want to do – but we must if we love them. God understands.
Sometimes adults are not too different from children. We want what we want and in chasing our desires, we can ruin our lives and compromise our future. God sees and because He loves us, he gets angry with our poor decisions. Though he is angry, he never gives up on his people.
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29)
God wants to give us a good future, an eternal future. God will do whatever it takes to get us there. He will do everything from taking away our freedoms to sacrificing His own Son for us.
The staff at Thomas Hassall are also all about giving your children a hopeful future, both academic and spiritual. We are partners with you in showing them a better way.
The next time you clash over homework, that device, uniform, or whatever - know that you are not alone. It may be unpleasant, but it is worth it because loving children is not about making them happy but giving them a future.
