Dear Children, be true.

Why is it important that we teach our children to be true to themselves? 

I believe we are fearfully and wonderfully made. What that means to me is that God has made us completely unique to be used in a unique way to serve Him. Within us as children is a spirit, an essence, that God has given us, a pull towards him and a unique and beautiful personality. I think sometimes as adults in an effort to "protect" our children from the cruel, harsh world we try to make them fit into the nice happy acceptable box that society approves of. In doing so I think we are losing part of the beauty that is our children or making it more difficult to grow to love themselves as God does.

I believe as a parent I am here to guide my children to find themselves in The Lord, and as much as I want to be their protector from "the world" that's not my job it's God's.

Pslams 31(Amp):

19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!

20 In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You keep them secretly in Your pavilion from the strife of tongues.

If we teach our children to change themselves or not speak their heart for fear of bullying or prosecution... The world not only wins, but we have taught them to place their valve in the thoughts and actions of men (of this world) instead of finding their value in the Love of our Lord.
