HEBREWS 11:23

Every child is unique. Children do not come in standard packages. You have to read the label. God has a way for every child. Don’t see your child like a piece of marble or granite and believe you can make out of that child what you want. That will be a great mistake. God has given you the ability to see your own special child.
Every day we sit under electric lights. They are the invention of a brilliant man, a genius, Thomas Edison. But when Edison was in school, his teacher said to his mother, “He is unteachable. He doesn’t have enough intelligence to be in this class. I suggest that you take him out of school.” His mother said, “You don’t understand my child. My child is not stupid. My child is brilliant. I’ll teach him myself.” And she did. Parents can sometimes see what others cannot see. Here was a man who was absolutely brilliant. You need to see your children as God sees them and pursue His plan for them.

PRACTICE THIS
Encourage the uniqueness in your child or in someone else in the next generation.
