Who Gave You The Right?

I look around and see so many parents with their children. I rarely see good children. Children are a reflection of their parents, in most cases. One day I saw a child disobeying their parents. This was before I really knew Jesus. The child says to the mother, " Mommy or daddy, can I have this?" and the they say, "No!" Now, the child starts to cry really loud and scream and shows a lot of anger. The child is about 5 years old. I look at the whole situation from several feet back and think to myself, my mother would have knocked me to the ground.....better yet, that wouldn't have even happened because I knew the consequences of what will happen if I act up in any way. I know Jesus now and when I see children disrespecting their parents, it is very hard for me not to say something. The situation I had with my mother opened my eyes in a major way. Now, I Don't have any children but, this is what has been on my mind for a while now. Who in this world gave you the right to be born and have so much disrespect towards your mother who pushed you out into this world?! For you to be born and have this attitude as if you own something. You own absolutely nothing . Everything belongs to God. He created everything(Genesis 1, John 1,2). And he created your parents.  When you disrespect your mother and father, you disrespect God.

  1. Amen, I agree with you completly. But I also blame the parents for allowing their child to be so self-centered.
