Do your loved ones in your family feel your love?
Just as many husbands think that their wives admire other men more than them as they relate how, “So-and-so’s husband does this and that with his children or for his wife…”. Those men do not feel the respect and admiration of their wives.
Likewise, many wives feel that their husbands think other women are either better at caring for their husbands, prettier, or better at caring for their families than they are. Those women do not feel the love of their husbands.
But most importantly for Titus 2 mothers energized by grace, we need to consider that many kids are hurt because they sense that their parents do not even like them. Some ways a lack of love can harm our child.
A struggling student watches his parents gloat about his sister’s straight A’s.
A boy strikes out in a softball game and notices his father’s disappointment.
An overweight daughter is told, “Stop snacking so much if you even care about your looks.”
This absence of loving approval can lead to untold pain, whereas loved ones who feel approval and love face the daily challenges in their world with eagerness and confidence. Look with me for a moment at how Paul cultivated this type of love with a needy young man named Timothy. The mighty pastor of the church at Ephesus was also a young man with many physical and emotional needs. Paul discipled Timothy with love that could be seen and felt.
