Each Child is Unique

There’s a proverb in the Bible that goes like this, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Now, most of us think that means teaching our children to have faith in God and to be “good kids” so when they’re grown they’ll be good adults. But I think we’re missing an important point. A baby may have mama’s smile or daddy’s eyes, but that baby is more than a composite of their traits. From the moment of conception, God created the uniqueness of each child. Training our child “in the way he should go,” literally means identifying the special way God created that child and helping him or her in that direction.
Next time you’re asking God for wisdom on what to do with your child, remember to ask for wisdom in understanding his or her uniqueness.
