The Lord is different looked on us, saw how we repeatedly sinned against Him and sent His Son to deal with our desperate need for forgiveness. His blood on the cross covers the sin as if it never happened.

His cry did not just mean He was hungry. It announced to the world, “I feel your pain. I know your grief. I experience your struggles. I chose this because I love you.”

“Constantly remembering you in my prayers night and day” sounds exhausting and intimidating. Yet, when I relate this to the constancy of motherhood it becomes clear how this works.

I thought it would get easier. I thought I would worry less. But adult level decisions include adult level consequences. So, unfortunately as our kids grow up, the worry gets bigger, and stronger, and harder to control.

Ministry is never about me. It is only ever about Jesus.

Slapping Jesus on top of your activity doesn't make it holy and doesn't make it correct. We can't fulfill what God states He hates and then wave a cross over it to make it acceptable.
