But be encouraged that God's timetable is unlike ours and that he is not finished calling his own. His story of redemption may not look like the one I would write, but he is sovereign and always good. He hears you and I pray, and he is loving and compassionate.

We are just like our children in that we are so needy for God's grace.Days Ordainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720968940848407655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35163347720671573.post-51394293475081479292015-10-12T06:43:04.200-07:002015-10-12T06:43:04.200-07:00This hits so close to home.

It has been such a comfort to learn that while yes, we as parents have the responsibility to spiritually feed our children, it is God who calls them. Above all else the salvation of our children is THE most important thing! I pray that the Lord will not only save my children, but in His tenderness allow me to see the fruit of the residing Holy Spirit. 3 John 4!

I also lovingly remind my children, when they get caught, it represents God's mercy in their life. It is such a blessing to walk through this life with precious friends who understand the daily struggle. <br />It reminds me of 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257544941037975538noreply@blogger.com
