Culpabilidad. La menci\u00f3n de esta palabra puede generar una gran cantidad de emociones incluso en el alma m\u00e1s pura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guilt, by definition, means \u201cfeelings of deserving blame especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would dare say, there isn\u2019t a parent alive today who hasn\u2019t felt a sense of inadequacy at some point in their parenting journey. Afterall, there is only one perfect Father, meaning we all miss the mark at some point in parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is my firm belief that the enemy\u2019s number one weapon against parents is guilt. The Psalmist tells us that children are a GIFT from the Lord, they are a REWARD from Him. He also tells us that we are BLESSED when our quiver is full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dado que los hijos son una bendici\u00f3n, un regalo, una recompensa, es f\u00e1cil entender por qu\u00e9 el enemigo los convierte en su objetivo. Lo \u00faltimo que \u00e9l desea es que nos sintamos recompensados y bendecidos. M\u00e1s bien, su deseo es vernos frustrados, enfadados, ansiosos, nerviosos, dudando de cada decisi\u00f3n que tomamos, cansados, estresados, agotados y desgastados. Por desgracia, para muchos padres, su deseo se est\u00e1 cumpliendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yo fui ese tipo de madre durante los primeros diez a\u00f1os de mi trayectoria como madre. Mi esposo y yo nos conocimos un poco tarde, por lo que tuve mi primer hijo a los 30 a\u00f1os. \u00a1Est\u00e1bamos encantados!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were both blessed with dear and Godly mothers\u2026 different as night and day, but each one loved their families and their Savior with fierce passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuando mi primer hijo vino al mundo, apareci\u00f3 junto con \u00e9l un tipo de sentimiento de culpa que nunca antes hab\u00eda experimentado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cDo I work too much?\u201d
\u201cDid I feed him the right thing?\u201d
\u201cDoes he get enough sleep?\u201d
\u201cDoes he sleep too much?\u201d
\u201cShould I have let him watch that show?\u201d
\u201cShould I let him watch TV at all?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nY as\u00ed sucesivamente, hasta que me encontr\u00e9 en un c\u00edrculo vicioso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter the grandmothers\u2026 as Godly and precious as they were, the enemy took their words and their Godly counsel and twisted it in my mind. I truly believed for the next ten years, and with the birth of three more precious babies, that I would do nothing but royally mess up my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then something happened\u2026 I experienced a guilt infused situation that put me on my face before God. I cried out to Him and said these exact words, \u201cI can\u2019t do it! I can\u2019t raise Godly, healthy, happy, well-rounded, well-behaved children. Why you chose me to be their mother, I will never know. I. Cannot. Do. It.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His response? \u201cGood, now we can get somewhere. I never asked you to parent under \u2018the law\u2019 of guilt and shame. I\u2019ve called you to parent in grace. When you parent in grace, you will do the best you can, and you will TRUST me to do what you can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seems so simple, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had taken His gift, His reward, His blessing and made it something it was never supposed to be\u2026almost like an idol (That\u2019s a blog for another day). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I got up from that personal prayer meeting, I was a new person. I began to parent in grace - meaning I did what I thought was best, without second guessing my every move, and then I trusted God to do His part. And even if I made mistakes
(of which I made about a million and two), I knew He was faithful and gracious enough to fix them for me. I began to actually enjoy parenting!<\/p>\n\n\n\nHoy en d\u00eda, tengo cuatro hijos que desempe\u00f1an funciones vocacionales o voluntarias en sus iglesias y, lo que es m\u00e1s importante, todos ellos aman y siguen a Jes\u00fas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I include this to ASSURE you, if you lean into God\u2019s grace, give yourself grace as a mother or a father, you will do a better job of parenting the children God has blessed you with AND the parenting journey will be much more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parents, please don\u2019t let guilt rob you of the JOY God intended when He gifted us, blessed us, and rewarded us with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muchos padres luchan contra los sentimientos culpabilidad, sinti\u00e9ndose inadecuados o como si siempre estuvieran fallando, pero este remordimiento puede robar el gozo que Dios quiere para las familias. Al entregar estos sentimientos a Dios y elegir criar a los hijos con gracia, haciendo lo mejor que pueden y confiando en \u00c9l, los padres pueden criar a sus hijos con confianza y disfrutar verdaderamente de las bendiciones que han recibido.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[284],"tags":[97,101,99,35,100],"coauthors":[266],"class_list":["post-466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrating-holidays","tag-faith-based-parenting","tag-family-blessings","tag-guilt","tag-parenting","tag-trusting-god"],"acf":[],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":984,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466\/revisions\/984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igniteparenting.com\/es-es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
