ئەپەکە بەدەست بهێنە7 Day No More Yelling Moms Devotionalنموونە
CHALLENGE 6:
Speak one “gracious word” to each child today.
Grace means giving someone something they DO NOT deserve. What we deserved for our sins was death and punishment, but God graced us by sacrificing Jesus on the cross for our sins.
Maybe your child “deserves” a consequence today. That does not mean we have to yell and be angry. We can offer, even discipline, with gracious words.
How might you be gracious in your words today?
ONE LAST THOUGHT:
We err when we think that being gracious means our kids will take advantage of us. Jesus tells us that He draws us to repentance with loving-kindness, not harsh punishments at every turn. It’s the act of grace that reaches our hearts.
LET’S PRAY:
“Dear Father, I want my words to be sweet and kind, even if my kids do wrong. Help me to look on them with love and compassion instead of taking our kids’ sin personally. It’s You they sin against. Not me. Help me to show them Your grace and loving-kindness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
CONSIDER: How does it feel when someone offers you grace? Do you feel like taking advantage of them, or simply grateful?
