Item description from the seller
My dad, until his death, was the number one encourager in my life. Both of my parents, in fact, were constantly telling me that I could do anything. In reality, I wasn't a great student, but that didn't seem to matter to them. They were consistently uplifting, and that focus has become part of my lifestyle. Beni and I both postured ourselves to be a continuous source of strength and encouragement to our children. We wanted to make sure we always gave them much more positive feedback than negative. We focused on highlighting the things they were doing right and the things for which each child had a gift or a particular grace. We focused on their future.
Jesus called Peter a rock when he was like a broken reed. Peter was unstable and unreliable, but Jesus spoke to him according to what he was becoming. The Lord called Gideon a mighty man of war when he was hiding in fear from the enemy. Likewise, as parents, we need a picture from the Lord for our children. We don't do that so we can control their destinies, but so we can fuel them into all that is in their hearts. We have the great privilege of fanning the flames for the things God has already put inside of them. We get to speak to our children as though they already are what they are becoming.
