You’ve probably heard some wonderful, incredible people use this phrase. “We should always think the best of everyone.”

Thinking the Best of Them

Well as much as we would like to think the best of everyone, for the wise informed parent that seemingly kind statement may be a bit naive. This is especially true if your teen’s history and contradictory evidence indicate otherwise.

If God puts a high premium on truth wouldn’t it be prudent to think the truth about everyone; especially our kids? Then we can, as Jesus said, “make a right judgment.”

Until we know the truth about our kids, we’ll never be able to effectively assess them and pour into them the right amount of discipline or the right amount of grace.
