CHARACTER and MATURITY aren't qualities we NORMALLY expect to find in our CHILDREN. We assume that THESE things come LATER, ,  assumption that HINDERS their growth POTENTIAL. God's got HIGHER expectations for your CHILDREN! 
In His Word we READ: 
1) 'Our sons... will be like well-nurtured plants.' Not in their forties, fifties or sixties but 'grown up in their youth' (KJV). They needn't WASTE their YOUTH; they can GROW now. Why does God LIKEN them to PLANTS? Because they have SPIRITUAL roots CAPABLE of drawing in His nurture, ways and strength, and are born with the potential for success. '... I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one' (1 John 2:14 NIV). Hello, that's your CHILD He is talking ABOUT! 
2) 'Our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.' Why would God EQUATE your daughters with PILLARS? First, because they are DESIGNED to be UPRIGHT and support-giving; they are INDISPENSABLE to the building's STRUCTURAL integrity.
Second, because they  'adorn' the BUILDING'S attractiveness, draw ATTENTION to its GRANDEUR and cause US to admire the ARCHITECT and owner. Palace pillars glorify the King, making Him, and them, look good. Your CHILDREN need you to BELIEVE in their God-given POTENTIAL.  Do you remember what Jesus said about our children? '"... of such is the kingdom of heaven"' (Matthew 19:14  NIV). His faith in their potential is great. Yours MUST be TOO .
God's Servant 
Rev. Alfred Acheampong.
Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help us, parents to identify the God-given potentials of our children and so help them to develop, grow and become a profit and a benefit to themselves their generation in Jesus name.
Anchor Scripture: '.... WELL-NURTURED PLANTS... PILLARS... TO ADORN A PALACE.' ( Psalm 144:12 NIV) 
Stay Blessed!
