Developing good parenting skills begins with relationship. Your personal relationship with the Lord of your life fills you with His love, which overflows to the lives of your children.
The simple fact that a mom desires to hold her children's hearts is evidence that God is working in mom's heart. Praise Him! When I was parenting my young children and learning how to hold their hearts, I discovered that my desire to hold my children's hearts was God's call to me, asking me to let Him hold my heart.
Do you know that God loves you? If you struggle believing that God loves you, take a look at the Levitical sacrifices. As you learn to hold your children’s hearts, you will tap into the heart of God’s love for you and develop good parenting skills. What an exciting journey! how God holds yours. He laid down his life for you to gain your heart of love for Him. As you lay down your life for your children, you will gain their hearts. Then you can parent your children in the same manner that God parents you: with lovingkindess, grace, patience, and unconditional love.
Develop good parenting skills while capturing your children's hearts: listen to their hearts, and repent humbly before them. Learning from the Lord how to hold your child’s heart opens a door for God to perfect/mature your heart in love. Let Him use all the fumbling around that you feel you do, all the mistakes you feel you make, to perfect/mature your own heart in love so you can learn how to Because Your Father Hold Yours!!
I have also loved you. ~John 15:9
