Bad People Have Kids, Too

“He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.” (2 Chronicles 22:3)

Ahaziah was a bad king guided by an evil mother.  Bad people have children, too.  These truths are not popular, but they are truth nonetheless.

If you have grown up feeling that the picture of love and joy that family should bring you was never there – you are not alone.  May you find encouragement that not all bad parents in the Bible raised bad kids.  Sometimes wonderful people come out of very rocky soil.  You can be the beginning of a whole new landscape of love and joy in your family lineage.  Don’t take my word for it – read Ezekiel 18 and see that God says the same thing.

Regardless of your childhood, righteousness and joy can begin with you.  Simply choose different counsel and a new Way.

Matt 4:4 #Biblebites
