“I’ve always been a good girl who valued obedience over grace. I didn’t think I really needed it. I didn’t have trouble doing what I thought was right, so I just stuck with that as my pathway to heaven.
But then I had children, and heaven help me, motherhood did me in.
I’ve never felt like more of a sinner. When the light of motherhood shines on me like a spotlight in an interrogation room, I realize I’m the guilty one.
But the depth of my mistakes is a reminder of the depth of God’s love for me. The only appropriate response is the face of such radical love is hopeless devotion. Our messes can actually be something to rejoice in because they keep us clinging to Him.”
Mamas, if you feel like you’re at the end of your rope, it’s probably time to let the rope go. Run to Him. Cling to Him. Rest in Him.
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23
