Episode Transcript
Ron: A seed of truth, planted in your heart by the Holy Spirit, can grow beautiful things.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Let me give you an example. Sometimes stepchildren are more problematic to a stepparent than a biological parent, because they intuitively know the stepparent is able to handle it—it’s a backward compliment.
One couple heard me say that and it immediately planted a seed of truth in the stepdad: he wasn’t being rejected, he was being admired. This freed him to love his stepson in spite of the outward attitude—and now, a decade later his stepson is thanking him for being instrumental in his life. Never underestimate the power of obedience to a simple godly truth. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
