Read Genesis 37:4 – When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
A dad has to be careful to love all his children the same. Jealousy among children is not an attitude that should be allowed to grow. While a dad cannot help at times feeling partial to a child, his actions must always be seen as equal to all his children. The attention you give a child may be the vitamin that creates dreams, strength and ambition in that child. The lack of equally shared love could be what keeps all your children from doing well. May all our children think, “My dad loved me the best!”
