Quit complaining about what’s wrong about your spouse and kids and start thanking God for what’s right about them. And if you still don’t see anything then pray and ask God to show you!
It’s immature and selfish to think that your happiness is rooted in them treating you right or fulfilling your life. True fulfillment comes from God not others.When they do things you don't like, you will quickly become discouraged. Give god the complaints and leave them at his feet. You will come out of that prayer closet encouraged.
Find your identity in God and allow him to show you your value. It’s much deeper than your kids getting good grades and it’s much deeper than your spouse getting a better job or paying attention to you. Its time to Allow God to build you up so you can serve them with a right heart.
The standard is higher for Christian’s…if you think it’s still ok to undermine their value, critique them or gossip about them, then it’s probably because your conscience is seared and Gods love is not in you.
When you complain or gossip you are speaking curses about their identity and you are allowing satan to use you to rip your family apart with your own words.Houses don’t get torn down because of finances they get torn down because two people have pride and stop believing God to deliver them out of their troubles.
Plain and simple folks…you didn’t get married and have kids to make yourself happy…you got married and had kids to look more like Christ to them.If no one else ever saw your value, Jesus did when he went to the cross for you.
Let’s do family differently. We need to now more than ever.
So how do you build
1 Corinthians 8 1
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.
