God’s action towards us.
We matter to Him
How does God communicate that to us?
Provides for us – Matthew 6:26.
Forgives us, takes the initiative to save us – Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4-7.
Invites us to a relationship – Matthew 11:28-30; John 1:12; Hebrews 4:16.
Illustrations
Rebellion, didn’t because I didn’t want to give up hunting and fishing
The whole story is that my dad didn’t really want me along because of what his friends would say and then they would have to take their sons along, but my mom wanted him to and he did.
Later I even was allowed to miss school on two occasions, which was a great rarity, in order to go hunting.
I loved those times with my dad.
He didn’t play with us much otherwise because he was running a home business and was always working.
Did play chess with me.
Key is, you matter to me
How do we communicate that?
Not by defending wrong actions
Discipline does not destroy, in fact it upholds this concept.
You matter to me enough that I am going to help you grow up to know right from wrong, to hold you accountable for you actions.
By spending time.
Going to games even when we knew that they would probably lose.
Heard of someone who attended a game and walked out when their son did not play well.
Bible talks about children honoring fathers, this is part of communicating “you matter to me.”
Ephesians 6:2
Gary Smalley talks about the concept of “honor” illustrating it with the concept of a violin of great value.
That is really what we are talking about there.
These principles pertain when it is a son, daughter, other significant person, Big Brother~/Sister
God disciplines us
Hebrews 12:5ff.
Communicate value to each other
Eye contact
Spending time
Listening
Appropriate gifts
Hold them accountable
Distinguish between criticism and accountability.
Identify and reinforce the idea that this is important and must be done
Spend some time talking about how to do it.
Honor, simply put, is communicating to one another that “you matter to me.”
