When we hear this word it seems like a simple piece of advice from an adult to a child, but if we stop to meditate on the whole advice we can discover the richness it has.
Behind this recommendation, behind this commandment, there is a very powerful principle, this means that when we honor our hearts are transformed, relationships are healed and as a consequence, doors that remained closed for a long time are opened.
When we talk about honoring our father and mother, we are not talking about a simple task. We are human beings, we have imperfections and we cannot forget that our nature is sinful. Generally we carry wounds and a lot of silence that in the long run make us suffer a lot of pain. Even so, God asks us to honor our parents even when they have been imperfect, when we think that they have done wrong towards us, by honoring them despite whatever we reflect the love of God through our actions, and as a consequence we are participants of the richest blessings.
When we honor, we put pride aside and we propose to forgive and thank God for what we have received. In this honor, we not only obey our earthly parents, in this way we are honoring God. Let us remember that we have a direct promise, by honoring we will have a long life on earth, always remember this.
Honor your father and your mother, which is the first commandment with a promise; so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life on earth.
Ephesians 6:2-3
God bless you today and always!
Cuando escuchamos esta palabra pareciera un simple consejo de un adulto para un niño, pero si nos detenemos a meditar el consejo completo podemos descubrir la riqueza que tiene.
Detrás de esta recomendación, de este mandamiento se esconde un principio muy poderoso, esto significa que cuando honramos los corazones sean transformados, se sanan relaciones y como consecuencia se abren puertas que permanecieron cerradas por mucho tiempo.
Cuando hablamos de honrar a nuestro padre y a nuestra madre, no estamos hablando de una tarea sencilla. Somos seres humanos, tenemos imperfecciones y no podemos olvidar que nuestra naturaleza es pecaminosa. Generalmente cargamos con heridas y mucho silencio que a la larga nos hacen sufrir mucho dolor. Aún así Dios nos pide que honremos a nuestros padres aún cuando hayan sido imperfecto, cuando pensemos que han hecho mal hacia nosotros, al honrarlos a pesar de lo que sea reflejamos el amor de Dios a través de nuestras acciones, Y como consecuencia somos partícipes de las más ricas bendiciones.
Cuando honramos dejamos de lado el orgullo y nos proponemos perdonar y agradecer a Dios por lo que nos ha tocado, en esta honra no solamente obedecemos a nuestros padres terrenales, de esta manera estamos honrando a Dios. Recordemos que por ello tenemos una promesa directa, al honrar tendremos larga vida en la tierra, recuérdalo siempre.
Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, que es el primer mandamiento con promesa; para que te vaya bien y tengas una larga vida sobre la tierra
Efesios 6:2-3
It is the commandments of God that we should honour our parents
@uyoho And they are commandments with promises directly!
The Bible says honour your father and mother so that your days will long.
@mfontom Is it difficult? With God's help we will be able to put it into practice!
Just few days ago we dwelt heavily on this during our bible study, the concept of honoring parents, that it is one of the greatest commandments and the only one with promise, it is very vital that we do such, but in todays world, children actually do the opposite instead
@hiventhusiast It is vitally important to put this commandment into practice, if we put it into practice with respect to God, much more with respect to our earthly parents.
