God didn’t just give us children—He entrusted us with souls. Being a parent isn’t just about raising polite, well-behaved kids. It’s about shaping hearts that beat for Jesus. Godly parents understand that parenting is a sacred assignment—one that echoes into eternity. Let’s look at Lois and Eunice in 2 Timothy 1:5. Paul commended their sincere faith—faith they passed down to young Timothy. Their names are remembered, not for fame or power, but because they faithfully nurtured a child who became a pillar in the early church. They didn’t just parent for the moment—they parented for God’s mission. That’s the high calling we carry too. We are raising the future church, future leaders, and future lights in a dark world. Our mission isn’t small. It’s kingdom-sized. And that means we need to parent with intention, filled with God’s wisdom and strength.
