Some parents make the painful mistake of showing more love, attention, and respect to the child who gives them money, while neglecting or resenting the child who is unable to provide financially. This is not the kind of love God desires from parents.
A child’s worth should never be measured by how much money they can give. Some children may have more financial opportunities than others, while another child may be struggling but still love and honour their parents deeply. Money should never become the standard by which parents measure the value of their children.
The Bible teaches us to love without partiality:
“But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.”
— James 2:9 (KJV)
Parents should also remember that every child is a gift from God:
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
— Psalm 127:3 (KJV)
A child who cannot give money today may become the one who stands by you tomorrow. More importantly, parental love should not be bought with money. Love your children because they are your children, not because of what they can give you.
The Bible commands us:
“And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”
— 1 Peter 4:8 (KJV)
Parents, do not create jealousy, bitterness, or division among your children by favouring the one who gives you money. Treat every child with love, fairness, encouragement, and dignity.
“For there is no respect of persons with God.”
— Romans 2:11 (KJV)
Money can provide comfort, but it should never determine who deserves a parent’s love. Love your children equally, correct them with wisdom, and never make financial contribution the price of acceptance in your family.
