LOVE is a pretty awesome thing. Some people never find it. If you have parents that love you, you are especially blessed. Commandment #5 says: Honor your father and mother, that you may have a long, good life in the land the Lord your God will give you". It is the first commandment with a promise attached to it from Me. If your parents get on your nerves sometimes, it's probably because they love you and are concerned about you. They are also afraid of messing up themselves and not helping you to be the best you can be. Don't DIS-RESPECT 'em. It won't be long before you are in their shoes and you'll know what they're going through. In the mean time, love them and forgive them when they push you too hard. Take it from me- being a parent is tough. It really hurts when the people you love don't seem to love you back, especially when you're the one who brought them into the world. I have also observed that a lot of time and effort is put into into gaining the respect of your so called “friends” so I find it very sad that many of you think nothing about dis-respecting the people who really love you...including Me. If you want to get respect you have to give respect and that requires a little humility. So start with respecting the one who knew you before you were born…who loved you before there was time …the Alpha and the Omega…the First and the Last. Start with Me and you’ll find that being humble and respecting your parents, sisters, brothers and everyone else in your life will come naturally. This, my friends, is the only way that you will earn the kind of respect that you’re really looking for in the first place.
