This morning I had a quick little online chat with my oldest son. I told him that the only person more important to me than my husband and children is Christ. I told him that I want my children to learn from me that God is our provider, and obedience to the Holy Spirit is worth any sacrifice.
He responded with this as his status on Facebook:
in Matthew 10:37-38 it says: 37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Christ himself gave up his very own family (both heanenly and earthly) and picked up the cross and died for us all. So how can we not be willing to pick up our cross, which is the will of God, and go where ever he sends us in this life.
We're gonna be alright.
It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright
I can tell by your eyes that you're not getting any sleep
And you try to rise above it, but feel you're sinking in too deep
Oh, oh I believe, I believe that
It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright
I believe you'll outlive this pain in you heart
And you'll gain such a strength from what is tearing you apart
Oh, oh I believe I believe that
It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright
When some time has past us, and the story if retold
It will mirror the strength and the courage in your soul
Oh, oh, I believe I believe,
I believe
I believe
I did not come here to offer you clichÈ's
I will not pretend to know of all your pain
Just when you cannot, then I will hold out faith, for you
It's going to be alright
We're gonna be alright
It's going to be alright
