She snuggles up close as we prepare to listen to Daddy read and lead, our nightly family devotions.
Leaning over she softly kisses me on the cheek.
I get all warm and fuzzy.
“You’re the bestest Mommy in the whole world!”
My heart melts within me.
And then it hits me:
If she believes I am the “bestest mommy”… why don’t I?
He’s been telling me through so many avenues, books I’m reading when I sit on a Rock near the side of my trail; His Word, her words, and her words, to focus on that which is the truth.
He says I am accepted and hidden in Him, that I have worth. So why don’t I believe Him either?
I am learning, slowly, to focus on those things He tells me to focus on,
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~Philippians 4:8

Psalms 45:11~~So shal the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord and worship thou him!! You are a daughter of the Most High God, he treats none of his own as a step-child, everything that belongs to Jesus you are a co inheritor of!!!

Amen! that’s all I have to say…get to the core of truth and wear it like a wetsuit or something like that;} becoming our skin? or putting it on like a ‘nutrient cream’ that sinks in to our bodies, blood and circulates right through our heart:} sending you love!
I constantly struggle with this….why on earth does He want me to raise 6 children in His name.. I’m so unworthy in my eyes!
This is a tough question. Things I struggle to believe…the money will stretch and to just follow even when I don’t understand and it doesn’t make sense…follow.
Beautiful post. I struggle with thinking I am a great mom too. I struggle the most with viewing myself as He sees me.
Thank you for sharing.
Yes Misty! As HE sees me. Just yesterday someone said to me, “I have to remind myself that Jesus loves me so much more than I love myself.” That hit me right between the eyes. It is a truth I need to remember too. He loves me more than I love myself. I get so mean at myself… but He doesn’t, He is gracious and loving and merciful.
I often feel like the worst mum. I needed to read this. Thank you.
