"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." 3 John 1:4
Hello ladies!
Today my praise is to thank my Beloved Lord and Heavenly Husband for giving me a daughter who is a special gift from Him to me...
Yes, my dears, her life is a blessing in countless ways in my daily life, and I truly praise and thank my Beloved every day for her life and the joy of having her by my side!
We are on a week of school break (in Brazil it is called 🍭Children's Week🍧), and being able to enjoy her presence all day has been wonderful.
Today, He made me reflect that before I didn't pay attention to how good it is to enjoy her presence at home, and how wonderful it is to be able to wake up, prepare coffee the way she likes it (she really likes to drink coffee with milk in a cup and saucer), and she loves it when I make bread with butter in the frying pan)❣️
Oh my dears, it may seem simple, right!? But how this has given us more and more the opportunity to strengthen our bonds as mother and daughter, and with that I see His action in her life, because even though she grew up without the presence of her earthly father, I can see how loving and smiling she is as a teenager, who loves to talk about His love to everyone. In the last few days, she has been saying "mom, I love you" countless times a day🥰, and I remembered that this had been a desire of my heart that I took to Him a long time ago, because I had noticed that she had difficulty hugging and kissing me, and I confess that when this happened I felt guilty for not having her earthly father with her, and for having generated this kind of "coldness" in her.
But now my heart exults with happiness for my Beloved, who is a spectacular and incomparable Father to our Princess, and I can only say thank you, Dear One, because "nothing makes me happier than knowing that my daughter is walking in His Truth"!
You know, my dear ones, when we face problems in our marriages, many times, our children resent us in a way that we cannot understand and live with amidst so much pain that we are feeling. But remembering that they have a caring Heavenly Father, who is our Heavenly Husband and who is taking care of all things, and that our children’s future is in His hands, is a certainty that we must always keep burning in our hearts.
One of the chapters that always encourages me to want to be a better mother to Brincy is “The Teachings of Her Mother,” from the course A Wise Woman, and there is a part in it that says: “As parents, we must discipline ourselves first and begin to build a strong foundation of love for our children. If we fail to invest love in our children, we will have resistance and rebellion to our teaching, training, and correction. Then, love will be our foundation and love will be the motivation for our children to obey us.”
My dears, what an incredible discovery we have here, being able to remember the foundation of love mentioned in 1J4:19: “We love, because He first loved us.”
We are loved first by God, so we love Him in return. Similarly, our children cannot give love without being loved first. When we are the first to give love to our children, they will learn to love and give us affection in return...
I would like to invite you to read or reread this wonderful lesson

And I hope you are encouraged!
Much love to you🌷💕
Dear Marta, that’s right, we have a wonderful Father for our children. And I have always asked Him to heal my children’s hearts in this process, and to guide them to walk each day. And yes, I have learned to give them more love through the resources of the Ministry, and to be silent when I should.
Our Beloved is guiding us to be better mothers every day.
Thank you Marta for sharing.
Thank you dear Liza for sharing with us your joy in learning and practicing the Principles that our Beloved teaches us so that we can teach our children to cope, and not only cope, but to be blessed and become a blessing to others!!!!
Much love to you dear and have an incredible weekend!🌷💕
Dear Martha, your testimony is beautiful and encourages mothers and future mothers like me to take care of loving and enjoying our children. What I was reminded of when I read it is that learning to love is very difficult and requires patience while we sow seeds of love, like every farmer is patient and waits for the seed to show visible growth, at the beginning the seed is only buried in the earth (the heart) and it takes time for growth to be seen and even more to see fruits. For me that was the most difficult time of my journey of restoration, the time of sowing while I saw nothing, but God is faithful and in due time I harvested!! just as you give us testimony today. I encourage you not to give up and continue sowing love in each of your relationships, he who sows love reaps love. I would also like to share this lesson that helped me a lot in that stage: https://hopeatlast.com/c1/d26-sowing-reaping/
Wow Anastasia, what a beautiful encouragement you came to give us here. Thank you for sharing, and for helping us renew our minds about how we started our journey without seeing anything, but He sustained us, took care of us, and has guided us, and now, even though many times we see nothing, we know that He who began the good work will finish it, and that is enough for us to remain…
And thank Him for bringing us here and for blessing us with this incredible ministry.
I am so happy to be experiencing all of this!!
My prayer today is that He will help us and strengthen us always.
A big hug and much love to you, my dear! 🌷💕
Dear Martha, thank you for sharing this lesson. I myself have also learned to invest more in loving my children. Step by step I see my relationship with the children change. I experienced that they can sometimes be quite critical when I tell them that they have to follow a principle from His word. The part from the chapter that you shared was also an eye-opener for me. We have to invest in loving then they will love us when we correct them. I am also so thankful for the promise that He has for us that He wants to be a Heavenly Father for our children
Thank you, dear Hanna, for sharing how your Heavenly Husband has led you to become a better person for your family every day. This is so beautiful to read!!!
I don’t know about you, but I had never thought about being better in the family environment before. I only thought about being an efficient and recognized professional. But my Beloved has also changed me, and has transformed me day by day so that I want more and more to teach my daughter the path she should follow, so that her life will also impact the lives that will come through her life!!
Our Beloved is guiding and empowering us so that we can pass this on to the generations to come!
Lots of love to you and have a wonderful week!🌷💕
Dear Marta thank you for sharing your beautiful praise. I love the part that you quoted from the lesson: “As parents, we must discipline ourselves first and begin to build a strong foundation of love for our children. If we fail to invest love in our children, we will have resistance and rebellion to our teaching, training, and correction. Then, love will be our foundation, and love will be the motivation for our children to obey us.” Disciplining ourselves first is something I never thought of, but that is such profound wisdom to apply to build that loving foundation for our children. And that is what I am applying with my Beloved’s help and guidance. I love spending time with them and teach them about their HF through things that happen in our daily lives, reading bible together and allowing my son to pray for us daily. And I also love waking my children up with coffee the way they like it.
