"One thing is necessary...and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42
Our God sees every single act of injustice. He hears every single word of hate. All of it will be paid for. Not one tiny sin will escape punishment. The wages of every sin is death and death will be paid. It will either be paid for by Jesus on the cross or by the wicked for all eternity. He holds it all. He also sees it all.

I bet in some area of your life, you could spot a fake a mile away. Maybe you’ve come to know and appreciate a certain skincare line and you’re not going back to the drugstore. Maybe you can spot genuine handbag stitching from the finest knockoff. Whatever else we may know well on this earth, let us know the gospel a hundred times better.
Your children don’t need a behavior-modified mommy. They need a whole-hearted mommy. Ash him for it.
Potty training for me is like childbirth. The first few accidents aren’t a big deal. A little deep breathing, and encouragement from my husband calms me down. Then the hours pass, the dirty laundry grows. The accidents get closer together and more painful.
Those saved by Christ don’t walk around with a bucket trying to catch runoff rain water. We walk around full of a fountain, welling up inside us for eternal life. We have the fountain. We are watered by Christ himself from within.
