Have you ever wondered how God changes people? Maybe it seems like old habits never change no matter how hard you try. Maybe you have become discouraged in your lack of growth into Christ likeness. You know you are forgiven because of the cross, and you realize you are totally accepted by God on that basis. This is wonderful. And yet your desire to live more like God some how constantly falls short. God desires to transform our souls, this transformation occurs as we recognise that God created us to live in an interactive relationship with Him.. Our task is not to transform ourselves but to stay connected with God in as much of life as possible, as we pay attention to His Spirit in our lives we naturally and slowly become more like Him, which takes a life time. Our job is to do the connecting and God does the perfecting.
Jan Johnson
Every healthy parent wants their child to experience love and suceed in life. The single most important thing you can do for your child is to give them a firm foundation for life. God loves you and your child specifically by name, God wants your child to know Him, to be loved by Him, and learn to love others. To know God relationally as a friend, to know He will always be there to help them through the ups and downs of life. Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.
