A Heart For Your Children

Connection Group 07.08.11

I am really excited for the things we have learned this past six weeks. We have four weeks left and we are done with this Bible study. So many valuable lessons we have learned. Something we got to know is the Bible is convicting, convincing, converting to all who accept its message and believe in Jesus Christ. 

All the different topics we have seen this past six weeks are biblical and applicable to our lives. Last Friday we saw “A Heart for Your Children”. Our ministry as godly women do not start at church but at home teaching our kids His Word and nurturing their faith. 

 “So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

The second principle that Elizabeth George shared with us is a mother is to teach her children practical wisdom. God expects mothers to teach their children how to live to please Him.

“She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].” Proverbs 31:26

A mother is to dedicate her children to the Lord for His purpose and to love her children even when parenting is difficult.

God provides encouragement through His Word and grace through His Spirit to mothers who nurture a heart for their children. 

Next week we are going to see “A Heart for Your Home”. I hope to see you all. At the end of this Bible Study I was thinking we could do a picnic in the park. Let me know if you like the idea. 

Love,
