Isn't it interesting that Jesus lived as a family man for 30 years of his life on Earth before He started His “ministry”? We all desire to conquer the world and do great exploits for the Kingdom, but we have to realize that this journey of changing the world begins in our own homes! Many of us dream about someday becoming wives and mothers. There are days when all I want to do is give little kids baths, get them in their jammies, snuggle up, read to them and tuck them into bed! Having the desire to nurture and care for our someday families is totally natural. Being a mama is powerful! Not only are you affecting your kids, but you are changing lives for generations to come. I believe one of the most powerful movements sweeping across the earth right now is a generation of young men and women who are saying “yes” to God, “yes” to purity and allowing God to write their love stories! When these beautiful marriages take place, it's a shining example of Jesus and His Bride! These couples are then blessed to raise households strong in the faith. Mothers are laying down their lives daily to pour into and teach their children the ways of the Kingdom. Children are our future world changers. If we can pour into them today, we are planting a seed of victory for tomorrow, the next day, and long after we're gone. That's what I call being eternally minded! God's story is big and long, and so much greater than ourselves. Let's keep this perspective and be patient as we wait for His goodness to unfold in the lives of our future families.
7. Change The World Through Your Family
Dear Lord,
I offer my life to You as a living sacrifice.
I want to know Your love, and change the world through Your love. I can do nothing appart from You! You are the vine, and I am the branch.
So reveal Your amazing love to my heart!
I desire to partner with
You to bring Heaven to Earth, live out the dreams You've given me, change the culture, and wait for You to write my love story.
I pray that my love story would be a testimony of just how amazing You are!
In Jesus name, Amen.
