"A sure sign of a healthy relationship between believing
adult children and parents is the fellowship which springs from
humility as we walk in the light together" (67).

"At times parents may try to shame their children into repen-
tance by speaking words of disappointment: “You should know
better than that.” “What were you thinking?” “You really let me
down.” But shame and guilt from you does not change your
children’s hearts. There is no true conviction of sin apart from
the sweet conviction of the Spirit who works through the Word
as a tutor to bring our children to Christ" (36).

Therefore, if this feels heavy to you or you begin to feel hopeless, take heart and rejoice! You cannot bear the weight of your salvation or your growth. They are not yours to bear. (97)

“ I do not understand why He would place a longing in my heart that He doesn’t plan to fulfill.”
