I don’t want to tell my kids how to be a Christian. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them how to love Jesus. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them how to keep the faith even when life kicks you when you’re down, and you can’t seem to get back up. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them what it means to love your neighbor. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them how to pray. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them to not be ashamed of their faith. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them that grace is everything. I want to show them.
I don’t want to tell them that they’re going to fail, that they’re going to fall, that they’re going to fall short, that they’re going to make mistakes.
I want to show them.
And then I want to show them that despite those failures and shortcomings, the God of the universe is still there. And that same as always, He will extend forgiveness, grace, and love.
