It is reasonable to decide to do what Jesus Christ does; He only leaves an inheritance to those who love Him. We can leave our inheritance to those who love us; it is not revenge, just good sense.
To think we have to give money to people just because they were family is to place too high a value on money.
We gave them our love and the first 20 years of our lives, along with our training, so they would be able to live a kind and righteous life, but they chose otherwise, so they can live with what they chose.
Never allow the culture to guilt you into giving to people who do not love Christ and do not love you.
1 Peter 1:3-5:14
A Heavenly Inheritance
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
Our children's salvation is far more important than money. No rebellious child will suddenly begin to love Christ because they inherited money from us. Perhaps no inheritance will show them their need for Christ.
Our money and goods should go to those who love Christ, so that it will be used to the glory of God.
