Letter to My Daughter 4

 

My Dear Daughter,

 

It’s over a year I last wrote you a letter. This would be my fourth published letter to you. You are growing so well. Your mum and I are so glad of your development. More importantly, the love of God in you is also growing as well. We lived in a world where girls do face a lot and lot of challenges no doubt, so your mum and I will do our very best to train you up in the right way you should go and when you grow old, you wouldn’t depart from it.

 

I want you to learn from our mistakes and avoid them. I want you surpass our achievements in life, go higher than the loft heights we have reached. They say experience is the best teachers but I say instructions is the best teacher. You don’t have to experience the mistakes we did just for you to learn a lesson. That is why I’m writing you a letter.

 

Life will never be hard for an obedient child. After honouring and obeying God, your parents are your next to be honoured and obeyed. Obedience to parents is related your longevity in life. A child that refuses to listen his/her parents is ready will be like a dog destined to be lost, it does not hear the hunter's whistle.

Every instruction we give you are also for your wellbeing. No one makes in life without following instructions. A person that doesn’t follow instructions is deemed to fall into destruction. Babygirl, do not despise godly instructions.

 

I have disobeyed certain instructions and it was costly for me. It’s not easy no doubt but you got to be disciplined enough to follow certain rules. My fourth letter to you could be summarized in one sentence; Do not despise instructions.

Life would come with its own attractions but do remember not all that glitters is gold, don’t be in a haste to follow trends or try to stay woke (that is the new word). Rather, always be true to God and to yourself.

 

I will end my letter with these words from the great apostle of God, Apostle Paul who said in his first writings to the Church in Corinthians; “All things are permissible but not all things are beneficial”

 

Do have a great time fulling purpose daughter. I love you.

 

Your lovely Dad.
