So, several times a day as you look at your children, ask your Heavenly Father, "Help me see what You see when you look at them." Then you'll know how to give them what they need the most. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/everybody-s-got-a-story-6153 2010-08-12T10:52:31-05:00 One thing I can tell you from a lot of years of learning what's really inside people - when a person is hardest to love, they need your love the most! And that's when you ask Jesus to release His love through you because your love just isn't enough. React to their bad attitude or their bad treatment, and you can be just another person who just wounds an already wounded person more. Respond with the mercy and the grace and the compassion you got from Jesus and you can be part of healing that wounded person. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/living-proof-5737 2009-09-09T15:17:07-05:00 God doesn't say they'll be impressed with your arguments or your persuasive words. It will be your persuasive life. The random acts of kindness, the words of encouragement, your temper under control, the cleaned up mouth, the way you treat and talk about your mate, or your children, or your parents, your unselfishness, or the way you just put others ahead of yourself. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202:14&version=NIV 2009-08-19T17:52:20-05:00 Your Christian faith doesn't mean much if it isn't evidenced in Christlike actions in your life. If you claim to be a Christian but aren't trying to serve God with your everyday deeds, something is definitely wrong.
