MESSAGE
As long as we are here on earth, there is bound to be friction between children and parents, leaders and followers, teachers and students, and so on. However, what truly matters is the remorse a fellow expresses after he or she has done something wrong. Instead of trying to explain the reason for wrong actions or intentions, the wise thing to do is to first apologise genuinely.
It is good for young people to be encouraged to be bold and confident, face their fears, and speak the truth always. However, when a child or teenager makes a mistake, the appropriate thing to do is to own up to that error, ask to be forgiven, and try not to repeat it again.
Don't make it a habit to always give excuses for your errors or mistakes. If you do, people will think that you can't be trusted on any matter. If this can give you a bad reputation before men, how much more before God?
HYMN 2 - GOD GIVE US CHRISTIAN HOMES
1. God give us Christian homes
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught
Homes where the Master's will is sought
Homes crowned with beauty Thy love has wrought
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes
2. God give us Christian homes
Homes where the father is true and strong
Homes that are free from the blight of wrong
Homes that are joyous with love and song
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes
3. God give us Christian homes
Homes where the mother, in queenly quest
Strives to show others Thy way is best
Homes where the Lord is an honoured guest
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes
4. God give us Christian homes
Homes where the children are led to know
Christ in His beauty who loves them so
Homes where the altar fires burn and glow
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes!
