Greetings Prayer Warriors,
As one marries, has children, and ventures into parenthood, they have hopes and dreams for the lives of their children. Most try to provide stability and security with all the essentials of life. A Christian family strives to lay a foundation in Christ, knowing that any other foundation will not last the test of time. We strive to teach, guide, and transform our children into strong pillars of the Lord. We too, work on reinforcing ourselves as we see cracks and weakening in our own fortitude and strength.
According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:10-11
While it can be disappointing to see the pillars you have built begin to crack and even crumble, do not become disheartened, because the foundation you built upon is firm. The Lord is the Master Builder and anything you built upon Him, He will work to save.
Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God.
Hebrews 3:4
How often have you seen adult children marry, have children, and then re-find their faith when their struggles mount?
Let us then pursue what leads to peace and to building up one another. Romans 14:19
Continue to build them up, witness to a life in Christ, and pray for them unceasingly. The Good Shepherd never fails to seek out this lost sheep.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Hope does not disappoint! Pass it on!
