Positive or Negative????

For the past several weeks the Lord has been speaking to my heart about something that is very important to me. What kind of example am I to my kids??? Do they see a mother full of love or one who complains about everything and everybody? Do they see a mother who loves their daddy or one who points out all the negative? Do I speak in a way that is pleasing to the Lord? Do I make Christ a priority? Am I doing all I can to make sure my kids see Christ in me???? Well, to say I am convicted is an understatement!!! My hearts desire is to be everything I can be for my husband and kids. I love my family more than I could put into words. However, I am not always a positive example to them. I don't always show the forgiveness that Christ shows me. I don't always show the love that Christ shows me. It is my prayer that the Lord would help me to be what He wants me to be and what He wants me to be for my family. Life is not perfect but I serve a God who is!!!

So, we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.  1 John 4:16
