Feeling remorseful, his father recalled how Jeremy had looked at him, his eyes filled with both fear and hope for understanding.

Jeremy's father had restored his son's confidence by understanding and asking for forgiveness. We can also strengthen a child's confidence by encouraging him to serve others.
