Psalm 89:34, "I will
not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips."
This week started with a series of
apologies and fixing my errors. It started with my daughter and I going to the
movies on Sunday afternoon then that evening my wife reminding me I had a
project to do with our daughter due Tuesday morning. I forgot the project as it
was tasked to me about a month ago. Galatians
6:1-2, "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are
spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness."
Well today my daughter and I
finished up the project pretty late, but I had to apologize to her and my wife
forgetting for not remembering the project and having to rush to finish it. My
daughter was ok with it, but my wife was a little upset and let me know real
quick about it. I deserved it as I should have set a calendar
appointment.
Next I had to apologize to my
daughter for something we do all the time when we go to the movies. We usually
stop and get cheap snacks and sneak them into the movies to save money. Well we
all know that isn’t the right thing to do or teach our child. So I asked for
her to forgive me and explained why. She did not hesitate in her forgiveness. I
then had to explain why we could not do that anymore.
As Husbands and Fathers like I said
before, we need to lead by example. Today I had to walk the walk and at first it
was not easy, but I felt better afterwards. I will continue to strive in
finding that deeper relationship with God, my Wife and my children. We must
break the cycle of behaviors that are not Christ like and be continually
stretching to our Father.
Lets Pray: Father God,
Please forgive me for my behaviors and I ask that you keep me striving forward
reaching for the light. Father Thank You for the strength to admit my mistakes
and the ability to receive forgiveness. Lord Thank You for all that you do in
our lives. Thank You for showing me my mistakes and allowing me to grow from
them. Father hear our prayers and please grant them Lord. Father we ask this in
Jesus name...AMEN.
