Fit Bit (For the Children)
Many of us want to have better lives. We want to be able to hold our tempers,
manage our food intake, exercise more often, keep our finances in the black
etc.…
Yet, we fall short.
Here is some extra motivation;
Your children will mimic your life!!!
Like it or not you are leading by example. If you put God first in your life, your
children will know your strength comes from the Lord. If you over eat sweets and watch too much TV,
they too will find this behavior acceptable.
If you are a gossiper, complainer, speak with fowl language or ridicule
your neighbors, don’t be surprised when your children are intolerant. Like it or not we all lead by example. We teach the children with our actions. We are called to bring our children up in
the ways of the Lord. The only way to do
it is by walking in the ways of the Lord ourselves.
None of us walk in His ways perfectly. It is even more important to teach our
children that they are loved and forgiven regardless of how many times they
fail. They will only understand this if WE walk in
love and forgiveness. If they see us
beating ourselves up because of what we’ve done wrong, they too will forget
that Jesus came, lived, suffered, died and rose again, to forgive them and
bring them true peace!
Be motivated to walk in Christ’s strength and love today,
for the children!!!
Deuteronomy 25:14
“Do not have two different measures in your house, one large, one small.”
Luke 17:1-3 “Jesus
said to His disciples: “Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but
woe to that person through whom they come.
2It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone
tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to
sin. 3So watch yourselves.”
Be fit, be blessed and be motivated!!!
