Honor Your Father and Mother (Proverbs 20:20)

We all have lights, and we all have the potential to be lights. But our lamps can and will be put out under certain circumstances.

"Whoever curses his father or mother, his lamp will be put out in complete darkness." Proverbs 20:20, Amplified

We are called to love and respect our parents. I also want to point out that the Bible is mot sexist. Just because it says "he" does not mean it excludes you girls. All children are called to love and respect and honor their parents. In fact Paul wrote, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with promise: 'that it may be well with you ad you may live long in the earth.'" (Ephesians 6:1-3, NKJV)
