Honor your father and mother, so shall your days be long in the land that God has given you. This is the first commandment with a promise. It also means that parents are very important people to God. God has entrusted them with the lives of other human beings. This is a very big deal to God. He has given them the go ahead to fill the earth. Without parents we would not be there. Therefore we should give them the respect they deserve no matter what. When God gave this commandment, he did not say we treat our parents right if they treated us right. All that matters to God is that they are our parents. We should take care of them especially in old age. Some parents have treated there children very badly. Some have been physically and emotionally abused by there parents. Some children carry bitterness in to there adult lives and distance themselves with the parents. It is a way of protecting themselves from what hurt them most. God's intention is for children to enjoy a healthy loving relationship with their parents. Its never too late to make a change. There is nothing impossible with God. God can help you forgive your parents and start a new relationship. The devil knows that it is easier to penetrate into a separated family than that which is together. Bitterness will keep you away from experiencing the total power of God in your life. Forgiveness is for us to have peace and a chance to make relationships work. Christianity is all about good relationships. We cannot have a great relationship with God while you harbor bitterness.
