I have been convicted recently that it should be evident to my children (and anyone observing my interactions with my children) that I am a disciple of Jesus.
It is easy for me to get frustrated when I tell one of my sons several times to do something before he finally does it. And it is frustrating when one of my sons hurts another. But I have to control my anger and not raise my voice at them or rush to discipline them. I need the fruit of the Spirit, especially patience.
Heavenly Father, I want to love my children the way that you love them. I want them to see you in me. Lord Jesus, I want other people to know that I am your follower by the way that I care for my children. Holy Spirit, please help me set my mind on you, not on my flesh. Please produce your fruit in me. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
