Mother's Day 2014

It is abundantly clear in scripture that God is a Father, and as a Father He sets His perfect example in love. He loves us even when we are unlovable, comforts us when we are broken, pursues us when we are wayward, lets us fail when we need to learn the hard way, and uses everything in our life for a teaching opportunity. He is a perfect father who gives His children what they need, not just what they want. As children of the Almighty God, it is our responsibility, duty, and joy to teach others the way God has taught us. This is especially true for those of you who are parents: God has placed a great blessing and a great calling on your life. Be diligent to discipline and graceful in your approach to parenting. Keep Jesus in the center of your life as God, and not the blessing (your children) He has given you. In all things imitate Christ so that many may see your good works and come to know Jesus.
