Ephesians 6:1-3
Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the earth.
I know this is a very strong verse and I also know that a lot of kids don't respect their parents as they should. Considering Danielle was my daughter I know all too well the disobedience of teenagers to their parents. It is important to know and to teach your children to obey the First Commandment of the Bible. You do have to honor them, however it doesn't mean that you can't disagree with them or be hurt by them. This happens to many families, however, children please don't forget the First Commandment.
God promises with this verse that you may live long upon the earth if you obey your parents. I understand that some children have been disappointed by their parents, but it is crucial that the children not lose site of this Commandment made by the Lord of Lords, King of Kings! Praise His name as he is the Ultimate Father...do not disobey God as though He is your parent. He loves you as your father and mother love you too. He will never leave you nor forsake you! Praise His Holy Name!
