The Deep Love of a Parent

Genesis 27 & 28

Inspired thots

It is right for parents to love their children but there are times when parents seem to act in bias. This can cause disharmony amongst the children as in the case of Esau and Jacob when Rebekah taught Jacob to deceive Isaac for a blessing.

But Isaac did not reprimand Jacob for the deception; perhaps his walk with God  prompts him that this is the will of God.

Jacob was obedient to his mother in everything which brought him much blessings; he was saved from Esau's wrath for robbing him of his birthright and blessing.
He acknowledged God in his ways and was blessed. Esau acted hastily that caused him great loss. Although he realized his mistakes and tried to make restitution, the damage has been done.

Parents can really impact their children's lives with their teaching and love.
