God illustrates a beautiful example of parenting throughout His Holy Word. Below are a few scriptures that reveal what type of Father God is and we can apply these verses to help us become even better parents.
Also, please join me at The Better Mom today as I share a revelation I had about Parenting Like God.
4 Ways To Parent Like God:
1. “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” – 1 John 3:1
God parents with love. He doesn’t just love, but He lavishes it on us!
2. “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” – James 1:17
God gives good and perfect gifts, and He is consistent in His character.
3. “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” – Psalm 103:13
God has compassion on His children.
4. “My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” – Proverbs 3:11-12
God disciplines out of love.

As my belly continues to grow and the little life inside of me is knit together according to God’s great design, I am experiencing a stronger desire to prepare for motherhood. This is my first child, and as I am sure God has ingeniously equipped women with an instinctive ability to care for their children, I am desperate to gain as much knowledge and information about what I am about to endure as a mom.
