Oh moms. This pouring out and giving to others and training kindness. . .can exhaust us if we forget our source of strength. Our family camp speaker, Peter Reid, reminded me of a Truth I hadnt really grasped or at least my prayers reflected differently. He challenged us to no longer prayer, Jesus be with us. Or God be in this place. But to recognize that if we are saved through our faith, then Jesus is IN us. Jesus died for us in order to live in us. Let us live out of a new resource---the literal presence of Christ. All of me engaging with All of Jesus. -Peter Reid. Today, moms, when we try to muster patience on our own strength, lets lean into the miracle that with Christ in us can provide patience. When we feel lonely and unseen, let us not believe the lie but focus on the Truth that we can never be alone if Christ is in us. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me. (Col 1:29). Lord, may I live as one in dwelt by your Spirit. Thank you for being with me as I mother and love my boys. Thank you that I dont have to work on being a better mom, that you can create in me a clean heart and love through me. May I shine Christs love to my children so that they know to be near to me is to be near to you. Amen.
