People see the authenticity of any religious movement
according to how the older generation can imbibe within the small children the
understanding and love for their religion. Consciously or subconsciously the
world feels that way. To make thousands and millions of converts are good but
that doesn’t impress them. We, as parents, must understand the serious
responsibility that we have in inculcating love for God in the hearts of
children. If our children do not feel love they will not understand God’s
love because the love of the parent is translated to the children as the love
of God. When they feel their parents' love, they can actually begin to
understand God’s love. And what is love? Love doesn’t mean spoiling
a child, love doesn’t mean being nice sentimentally - real love means
that we must give the child the best possible that we can in our life, with the
goal of awakening their eternal love of God. Then that’s the most
important thing that we can give to our children - everything should be in
harmony with that.
