Faithfulness- some days it’s just a pretty word for drudgery and perseverance. It just means we never quit loving God, seeking him, allowing his Spirit to grow in us and his work to go on through us. It’s made up of a thousand small decisions carried out daily- to read when you don’t want to, to pray when God seems silent, to believe when the world is trying to shout him down. But like all other fruit, God grows it in us- we just have to let him.

Father, I pray with all my heart that the kids I love would fear you, walk in all your ways and love you, and serve you with all their hearts and souls. I pray we would keep your commandments which you have given for our good, remembering that to you belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it. May we always be faithful. #prayersformychildren
