Week 29 - APPROVED!

When GOD approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.

Proverbs 16:7

God's opinion is the only one that really matters.

Week 28 - Don't be a punisher

It's wrong to penalize good behavior, or make good citizens pay for the crimes of others. Proverbs 17:26

Even when we are having a bad day...don't punish innocent people around you! We can stop before hurting the people we love.

Week 27 - Doing Your Best

My children love to help me . . . with everything!!! Their enthusiasm to help is much appreciated, but I know that the job will not get done the way I would have done it. I know when I let them help, it is going to take longer, sometimes messier, but it will give them much needed confidence knowing that they did something like Mom.

God knows our imperfections all too well also. He knows that we are doing them out of love. He is patient and kind towards us, His children. Don't be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes. God is never as hard on us as we are on ourselves. As long as our motives are pure, we can be proud of a job well done.

"My love won't walk away from you, my covenant commitment of peace won't fall apart." The God who has compassion on you says so.

Isaiah 54:10 (The Message)
