Conscience – A Gift from God
“The most painful wound in the world is the stab on conscience.”
(E. C. McKenzie from 1800 Quotable Quotes)
Our conscience is a gift from God, the first way to tell us right from wrong. It is meant to keep us living the “good life”.
Encourage the kids to never ignore their conscience. It is their first defense against evil and it is there to protect. The bible says that when people’s consciences become seared, and past feeling, they become capable of doing great evil. This in turn leads to judgment and destruction.
Keeping a tender heart starts with heeding the voice of your conscience. Remind the kids constantly that there is forgiveness with God when we confess our sins.
If our lives were a castle, our conscience is definitely the moat.
