The Bridge to God

Ok, mom and dad, have you ever thought of yourself as a bridge? That is exactly what you are as you are the means to transport your kids from childhood to adulthood; from immaturity to maturity; from irresponsible to responsible… well, you get it!

The most important journey they will ever travel on the bridge of life is their spiritual journey. Are you equipped to be the bridge to take them to a fuller understanding of the magnitude of God’s mercy and grace? 

 Like any good bridge, the strength and stability comes from the materials and the engineering.  So, take a look inside. What are you made of…religious fluff or a real relationship with Jesus Christ? I hope your kids don’t have to cross Lake Michigan on a puff of cool whip! How are you put together? Have you grown in your faith enough to allow God to engineer you to His specs… or do you just try to get by with the least amount of change? What is supporting your belief system? Some tradition you have held on to or the actual truth found in the Word of God. 

"Write these commandments that I've given you today on your hearts.

 Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. 

Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; 

talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night.

 Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder; 

 inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 (The Message)

”Lord, make us strong and true so that we can provide the 

means for our children to cross into a 

mature and lasting relationship with you.”
