'The Holy Spirit Lives In Us.'
a) Romans 8:16; 1 John 4:13. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

d) 1 John 3:24. Whoever keeps His Commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit Whom He has given us.

Chris.
Christian parents can be comforted by the fact that Jesus Christ grew up humanly from Boy to Young Man. He understands very well about physically growing up. Sometimes, in these days, the parents feel isolated from their children because the "culture" of growing children seems so different from parental expectation. In this situation the prayers and love of the parents really helps. (As well as all the other parental responsibilities)
