Mom Heart Moments #130

Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your sons and your grandsons.

AS I LOOK UPON THE LANDSCAPE of our culture, I believe that more than anything else, adults who love God with all of their hearts, practice righteousness, have a heart to reach others, and stand strong against the moral battles of this day are what is most desperately needed in our world. God intended for righteousness to be passed on from one generation to the next by discipling those children who would become these adults. He wanted parents to effectively pass on Kingdom messages and values and loyal allegiance to Him to those in the next generation. The key to building healthy, godly souls is providing a home where this life of Christ is lived, breathed, and taught.

Parents were God’s finest idea of how such a legacy would be passed on to each generation. Mothers were designed to shape and influence the hearts of their children. We have the capacity to inspire messages of truth and hope, to model love and servant leadership, to build mental and academic strength by overseeing the education of our children, to lead in faith, and to build a haven of all that is good, true, and beautiful.

Satan would love to obscure such an important calling, so that generations would not be so well built. He works to diminish ideals of marriage, having children, family, our walk with God, and loyal love, the glue that holds all these relationships together.

My prayer for you this Mother’s Day is that you will embrace your eternally significant role. I pray that every day you will have vision for understanding how much faithfully serving as a mom matters to God, your family, and the world.
