We see some of what happens in this study.Envy,rebellion,and hatred.There is a reason why favoritism and flattery should not be a part of Christian character.Esau was jealous that Jacob received his birth right and blessing.Esau rebelled against his parents and married Hittite women.And Esau hated Jacob to the point that he wanted to kill him.They probably both felt unloved and unwanted,at times.Yes this happened to me and when my brother passed,and latter when I became a Christian,I was able to understand sin and forgive.Although my parents still do not see it that way.Parents can love their children equally but differently by realizing that their child is a precious gift from God.Each child has feelings,emotions, and desires to be loved and please their parents.Family is a tremendous gift.Do things that don't separate children and parents.Less television!More one on one,two on two,etc.Read the Bible with your children.Show the application to God's living Word,pray with them.All of this daily.Find a good Bible teaching church.Hang out with true believers.Love them unconditionally,encourage them,and let them know when they are wrong they are sinning against God as well.Don't give your child a death sentence after every wrong they commit.Teach them consequences for all their actions good and bad.A parents walk does much,so that the talk should match the walk.God Bless parents,and the difficult job they have to do.
