I have a short praise that will hopefully encourage all of you. We were sitting reading through the bible and usually when we are done, we just sit and chat for a while before we start our day. This is our morning routine. Even if I get up earlier than the children, when they get up, we start our day this way. This has nothing to do with me, but only Him, and the principles I learned here at RMI.
As we were sitting like this, my daughter mentioned how she feels different, she feels it is so much easier to share about the Lord. She does not call Him Father, they are more friends, I think her relationship with her dad, makes her a bit reluctant to call Him Father, but they are good friends, so I am not worried. She even mentioned how she was able to encourage her stepbrother when he went through a difficult situation, letting him know that the Lord was always with Him. This caught me by surprise because she would not usually do that. She said she just wondered what changed that she feels so free.
He immediately reminded me that only 2 months ago she started writing in a diary, but she used it for bible verses. Whenever she would read something in the My Beloved Child, or in what we read for the day, she would mark it and write it down in this book and read what she had written before, filling her with His word and promises.
Isn't it amazing!! How He is preparing our children to grow up to be adults who know Him without us even having a hand in the matter. I love Him so much. This whole journey was worth it, just so I could get to know Him and see my children grow up to know Him.
Dear Brides, read His promises, write them down, meditate on them day and night, and see how He transforms you like He is doing my girl. π
