Just for Moms...
I woke up early this morning and could not go back to sleep, so I got up. Chica came downstairs with me and went outside while I made coffee, walked around opening the blinds, and lit a couple candles. Everyone is still asleep...even my husband! He never is...and can I say that I am thankful! (Good sleep means that he is still doing well physically.) As I opened my Bible, the song "I Can Trust Jesus" played...and my reading plan changed. It is in these quiet moments that God speaks to our hearts and guides our thoughts to what HE has for us today. My part...to listen...to hear...to remember what HE is saying. Isn't that our desire as we mother our children each day? Conflict and frustration come when our desires and childish wants do not agree! How do we handle that conflict? And this is where conviction hit my heart this morning...in the quiet...listening to truth...I am already in tears...some of regret, some of relief, and yes... some of my stubborn heart feeling...because I need to admit that I handle things wrong sometimes...maybe these days all the time? Just like my children...Just like my husband.
Today, don't forget that we all are humans, born with a sinful heart that requires us to humbly seek God's help and forgiveness on a daily basis...ok, truthfully...these last couple weeks...probably hourly! Is He your heavenly Father? Are you His child? We all have to make that decision. We have to come to the point where we can admit or agree that we have a sin problem that we cannot fix. We need to believe that God sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to pay our sin debt. We must come to the end of ourselves...the point where we will confess our failures and call on Him to save us from our sin (works that go against God's holiness) and eternal separation. God loves us...He wants us to be with Him...yet our sin separates us. John 3:16
You and I have a heavenly Father that is walking this road with us! Let God's Word and godly music minister to your heart this morning. And then...watch Him meet every need you have...mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually! You CAN trust JESUS.
With love,
Kari...just a mom right now
