Oh girl. One of the hardest things is figuring out what grace looks like as a parent. I wrestle with God on this constantly. But ultimately I pray that my discipline would point my kids continually to the fact that they can’t live up to law on their own. They, like I, need Jesus. Period. You’re a great mom. I just know it. Covered in His grace. Love to you, friend.

Thanks Chuck. And I bet you absolutely see it in your ministry! Wow. What a perfect picture of the law’s inability. “Lean into grace.” Amen and amen. Hugs to you!

Sounds like I’m the one who needs to repent! Thanks, Lara!

It’s so true that “law does not change the heart.” I see it all the time working with inmates in our prison ministry. Also, the Jews under the Old Covenant established tons of laws, but Christ revealed their very black hearts. Unfortunately, I’m a person who tends to lean into “the law” because of its clear boundaries. Many times it’s when I try and apply my own interpretation of those laws to other’s lives that I stray from God’s example. All of us should consistently go back and really see what the Word has to say about God’s Grace … and lean into Grace in our hearts and lives.

Blessings Cuz ….
