If you weren’t able to join us last night, here is just part of what was missed. .
We have started a monthly where we are challenging you beautiful Mamas to apply scripture to your life. .
February’s theme is “Love” of course! Our number one commandment that Jesus gave - and one of the biggest things He portrayed - is to love one another. As He has loved us. (John 13:34)
So this month, we challenge you to take the scripture from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, and replace the word “love” with your name and ask God which of these is true (not just in motherhood, but in marriage, friendship, with strangers or coworkers, in your relationship with Christ) and which of these you may need to work on.
This scripture is a great guide in finding what areas of your life you need to grow in. Are you patient with your children? Are you holding records of wrong in your relationships rather than extending grace and forgiveness? Are you easily angered? When you’re going through a trial, are you hopeful and trusting in God? .
And there are two other ways that parents can use this scripture for our children.
1. To teach our children how to love. When they are fighting with their siblings/friends, ask them if they are showing love - being patient and kind, etc - and turn it around to help them understand what a good friend is when they are choosing friends.
2. For those Mommas whose kids are “dating” or wanting to date, give them this resource to use as the “Corinthians Test” to put the name of their “person of interest” in and if they fit all of these things, that’s a great way to show them how they should be loved and that it’s a person that is okay to date. .
We would love to hear your feedback and how applying this scripture has helped you and your family!
