Three Powerful Words
By Administrator | August 19, 2005
As a parent we have within our grasp a wonderful gift. Three powerful words. Unfortunately their power is matched by the difficulty in being able to verbalize them. If you are like me, these words are very hard to say. Why do we find it so difficult to speak words that are so powerful and a wonderful gift? Because it takes a large dose of humility to speak them.
These words? “I was wrong.”
Together with another powerful trio – “Please forgive me” one receives freedom and joy within ourselves and a renued, fresh relationship with our children.
Let me encourage you (and myself!) to utilize the power of these three words!
Psalm 147:6
The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.
Matthew 18:4
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
I Peter 5:5
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
May God’s grace and peace be with you,
Mark Strohm, Jr.
