Keeping Promises To Our Children.

Do not be hasty to make promises. A surprise is better than making a promise that will be very difficult to fulfill. It is not good to make empty promises. It is not good for one to use words to deceive children. We should not practice that. Some parents use deception for their children so that they can have their ways. They lie to them consciously by making promises which they themselves know that they won't fulfill. Such practices are not correct. It is not good to sow what is bad in the life of the children. When you keep making promises which you are not planning to fulfill, you are teaching your children the grow with deception.

It is good that we learn to surprise those that we want to give something to. Surprising someone with a gift is better than making a promise which you are not willing to fulfill. The Bible frowns against deception. We should learn to be truthful as those who are the followers of Jesus Christ. We should not allow worldly practices to get us into doing the same. It is a sin to make a vow which you cannot fulfill. Be truthful and honest with your words and teach your children to do the same.

The Bible says that we are to train our children in the way that they should go. The way which our children should go is the way of righteousness. In righteousness, let us train our children in the way of God.
