I would listen to a sermon or read a passage and think if my husband would just do this we’d have a great relationship. I now realize that I need to concentrate on my part and quit being his “personal Holy Spirit.” Life,and love, is so much better when we let God be God.

As I try to direct her every stumble physically and spiritually. The truth and reality is that if I actually do my part of this childhood equation, God really will take care of His part and she hers. I feel her frustration mounting when I try to become her conscience and don’t let the Lord work. I totally understand this and have to work on it a lot. Thank you for sharing this! So very true!

The line is difficult as a parent. Training up includes teaching them to meditate on truths. But I know what you mean. It is so much more important that we model what we are training them to do. It’s like when I’ve grabbed a toy from them while saying, “Don’t grab from people!” Lovely.

The other morning I made my son memorize the verse “Be kind one to another” to help him remember to be nice to his sister; but maybe I should be the one trying harder to be kind to my children. Thank you for sharing!

I can totally relate, and I’ve grown much in this area. The Lord has really worked on me.
