Sometimes we forget that our children honor us, as parents, by being good parents to their children.
Honoring your parents has lasting rewards.
The wealthy believers in Corinth wanted to become Paul’s patrons—supplying financial support to him. Paul reminds them that their relationship to him is like children to their father—the father provides for them, not the opposite.
2 Corinthians 12:14
Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
