Dear frustrated moms,
On days when your heart is heavy, tired and unsure, remember that God does not expect us to be the perfect mom. He simply calls us to be faithful.
He calls us to be faithful
*in teaching truth,
*in modeling godliness,
*in disciplining in love, and
*in praying fervently.
Proverbs 22:6 is a call to faithfulness in training, not a guarantee of righteousness. It describes general principles, not absolute promises.
Also, there are many examples of godly parents in the Bible who have ungodly children: Samuel, David, Hezekiah, etc. This frees us from the illusion that if we do it right, then we'll raise perfect children. No, we can't.
But we can take comfort in the truth that God does not measure our success as parents by the choices our children make, but by our faithful obedience to Him.
So whenever you feel defeated and hopeless, remind yourself that...
you are a vessel, not the vine
you are a steward, not the source
you are a shepherd, not the Savior.
And although we cannot guarantee our children's salvation, we can do our part faithfully and trust God completely.
He loves our children more than we do, and only He can change their hearts.
Sincerely,
Em π

1 corinthians 3:6-7 "6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
