Our Kids Are Not Upgraded Versions of Ourselves
Children should work knowing their identity lies in being redeemed by a loving God, not in being the family messiah.
“I am free to rest in my identity as a beloved child of God and allow that love to spill over to my kids.”
Children should work knowing their identity lies in being redeemed by a loving God, not in being the family messiah.
I have taken something good—an activity my child is gifted in or a desire for my child to be involved—and turned it into a functional savior.
Our ministries cannot sit on the throne of our hearts if Jesus is already sitting there.
I want my children to see Jesus in me, but they will not see Him though a picture-perfect family or a calm and peaceful household.
Church is a place of refuge, the only place I know of where who I am is not determined by what I do.
When left to ourselves, we are reminded of the great need we have for help that lies outside of us. Thanks be to God, this help is found in Jesus.
