I cannot Actually means

Told the boys we shall be more mindful and pray to God b4 we use the word "I cannot..."

When we say "I cannot forgive..." or I cannot do such and such... "
1. We limit God. We do not trust Him that He's unlimited. ...
2. We against His word of promises that we can.
3. We pride ourselves above God to conclude our future.
4. We did not obey His Word of Truth in our lives.

Do not put a period (.) to our past experiences and current knowledge that may affect the future. He's mighty...

Obedience in Parenting

I share with my sons abt the 4 layers of Obedience in my house.
From the lowest form of Obedience...
1. Obey to avoid beat.

2. Obey from fear - learnt from others past experience so i will not do the same.
3. Obey to be/get bless.
4. Obey to showcase FAITH in authority And LOVE for parents.
May we grow from glory to glory.

I thank friends who add more to my awareness of how limiting one perspective can be.
As a mom i have a strong belief in the " first time" “第一次". I have experience over and over again, anything i ever said for the first time, it somehow became my boys foundation. I told them a casual remarks like " fats blocked can cause heart attack" when they were two, have made them to be lean meat eater. Daniel is strong by eating only green vegetables and drink water. My boys do not fancy soft drinks. Thats also the reason why we sang so much of "Jesus loves you" to them. If you tell them, they are from the dustbin, they would have believed it. Now we know why some of us have identity crisis bcoz we were told that...

Culture say we all have our rights so makes many things an options and we can fight for everything just the way we want it. Today my new perspective is to help my children to have a tunnel vision on Obedience, Zoom them in to Obedience, bcoz is the right thing to do, making it almost not an option.
"Love me Obey me" "Love me follow me." This is throughout the whole bible, OT God said it, NT Fishermen did it...
The world perverted it, a statement highly used in BGR on young girls, " if you love me, you will do as i say." Many falls in such perverted obedience. They most likely heard it for the first time and they gave in.
Now i know why I am still struggling with having my kids to obey, bcoz i gave them and option, " can u obey or not!" " Why u dont obey" "you dont want to obey is it！??" "Obey mummy can or not"
Today i will start building a horse's view blinkers (horse tack) on my boys eyes so it helps them tunnel in to see obendience and run the race well.
For the first time and forever Say the right thing to them.
Thanks to my friends in MBC to remind and point out bible importance to me.
