Here are seven things you can assure your son or daughter of that God has promised for their future.
- God's will is salvation. Our heavenly Father desires that all of humankind have eternal life with Him. That includes your child.
- God's will is dominion. Dominion simply means control. God wants your teen to apply His Word and take control of their body, thought life, attitude, and future.
- God's will is discipleship. We are all to grow in our walk with Christ. As we mature, we are to help others do the same.
- God's will is unity. Encourage your child's words and actions to be united with God's Word.
- God's will is stewardship. Challenge them to take proper care of their time, money, abilities, and all God has entrusted them with.
- God's will is relationships. Through the power of relationships, they will be able to accomplish things that would be impossible if they were on their own.
- God's will is progressive. God has a plan for their life that will be completed one step at a time, not in leaps or bounds.
