Several years ago, a minister, told my ex-brother-in-law to not worry about his first born children. To leave that part of his life behind. That was the absolute worst advice. You can't imagine the damage that did to the kids. They are adults now, but have lived years believing their father did not love or care about them. 14 is an age of confusion and discovery. If your son needs anything, it is unconditional love, agape, from you and his family. Put yourself in God's place. Would you want God to look at you any other way? We all sin and fall short of the glory, but somewhere along the line, we began to categorize it, sin.....some worse than others. 14 is also an age of carrying burdens believed to be so heavy they cannot be shared. Be there for your son, help him carry his burdens. Hug him everyday and tell him you love him.
