We Are What We Teach

Proverbs 22:6

New King James Version (NKJV)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

The Bible shows us that if we train up a child based on the word and with good standards, the child will not depart from these thoughts of training. This is completely true...think about it: The things u were taught when u were younger have probably manifested and have been carried into your adulthood. U may search for those things to uphold a certain standard, maintain security, and you may believe without those things u will not have balance. Perhaps what u were taught even influences how u view ppl, how u treat them, and sets the tone for the types of relationships u have or desire. Our parents can be our #1 influencers, which can make or break a person as a whole. The next time u go through something for the umpteenth time, ask yourself why u are doing something, or tell yourself that u sound like your parent then think of this verse. God has the power to retrain, re-teach, or re-program if needed and you invite Him in your life to do so (1John 1:9), but until then, u are what u have been taught. Now ask yourself if that's a good or a bad thing?
