“When’s the last time you specifically and sincerely informed your child of an evidence of grace that you’ve observed in his or her life? If it’s been lover than a week, it’s been too long. You have some work to do and something to look forward to. If you aren’t faithful to encourage, you can be sure you will eventually exasperate your child. But if you are faithful, then when the times for necessary correction come–and they will come–the adjustment will be far more effective because the environment you’ve created isn’t correction centered, but grace centered.”
-C.J. Mahaney, Humility: True Greatness (Sisters, OR: Multnomah, 2005), 107.
