Can I share a simple practice that will strengthen you in every area of life, especially in your parenting? Here it is:
Find a quiet place and simply receive God’s love.
“We love because he first loved us.” —1 John 4:19
Our ability to love others—our kids, our spouse, our friends—flows from the love we first receive from Him. Look at Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
God’s love for you has no conditions. He’s not holding anything against you. He is wild about you, and His love only wants the best for you. Imagine: the Creator of the universe is constantly pouring love over you, waiting for you to simply turn and receive it.
Today, take just a few minutes to tell God you love Him and then sit quietly, allowing yourself to receive His love. Let it fill the places where you need healing, hope, and comfort. Let His love remind you that you are known and cherished by your Creator.
God’s love is the most powerful force in the universe. When we allow that love to fill us each day, it doesn’t just impact us—it overflows to everyone around us. It renews our own hearts, and from that overflow, we’ll have hope, joy, and love to share.
