Growing as a parent

Children for the most part believe in the knowledge of their parents. A parent, or an older, wiser adult, feels confident in their knowledge, as opposed to a child, not having not much experience to relate to. A parent
should know most everything a child would assume, and a parent may find satisfaction in the faith that the child has in them.

When a parent and an older, supposedly wiser adult is mistaken, is the first thing on their mind to apologize and allow for correction? Not all the time. Some parents, or prideful adults, would rather smooth over the issue with their logic so as to not appear foolish or wrong. A good parent in the first place asks Father to go before them and make effort to be Spirit-led in all their answers to the child's questions.

If they are somehow proven wrong, they can be honest with the younger, and supposedly less wise child, and allow for correction. The Spirit-led individual fears not correction. The good parent knows they are also always learning and growing. Correction appears not to be a blow to the ego, but a light in the darkness. There is rejoicing on the part of the parent and the child, who is learning to believe in themselves also.

A parent or adult can make effort to show themselves to also be learning and open, which gives a child freedom to be who they really are. This is increasing God. This is allowing the Spirit to teach. This is setting aside desired outcomes, or food for the ego, in favor of being nourished from the living Spirit. This is creating spiritual current between individuals.

To allow Father to go before you is giving Him freedom to work through you, to use your hands and voice, to listen with your ears and see with your eyes. This is God increased. I very much understand how individuals make it difficult for Father to be present between you and the individual. I know that it can be difficult to have Father's presence increased in some situations. Some people you know make it difficult to stand aside and allow Father to work and have His presence among you.

While you may not see the fruits produced from your efforts, believe me, there are always seeds planted and the goodness you show can only have good effects, even to the dismay of the other individual you are involved with. Connection with Father is detachment from others opinions. Their harsh words are only drops of water that evaporate in the midday sun. Their words are only there for a minute, but the love of God is there for eternity.
