The underlying purpose of every relationship has to be friendship.  This will include relationships with your biological children. But, they want you to discipline them and to lead as much as possible, with God's help, by example; not the "do as I say-not as I do."   They perceive loving intent in loving discipline.  Should you not treat your children in the way you wished to be treated?   Matthew and the disciples were friends. They were the first joint heirs and endeavoured, with the Lord's help, to reduce and remove any human motives in such a role. If the person in relationship does not ascribe to the good expectations of relationships as seen in the ten commandments that honor your neighbour, God and family then it could be that you have encountered someone who has declared themselves an enemy. It is the only other potentiality for their behaviour. If you have grandparents, a spouse or any anyone in your experience of life that you say you love and that you expect will love you with mutual consideration, then the value of the ten commandments( also referred to as the ten commandments of communal living) is evident. Read Mark 3, 4, 1st John 1: 9 and John 7 while having a coke and a smile. So, by the time you are 18 you may have figured this out and also the following when recalling the cookies and kool-aid enjoyed at youth group: 1. The purpose is to serve; 2. You need to know Him and yourself through education in asking and getting some answers about how; 3. There is preparation and sanctification in that preparation; and 4. Stay in the journey. See 1st John 1: 9 and Mark 4. Don't forget to turn off the lights after you sweep the dojo.
