"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart; Do not rely on your own insight. " - Prov 3:5 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jer 29:11

Becoming the-best-version-of-yourself! V.55

Ponder : The family is called "the school of virtue". Parents show their children what "life in the Spirit" really looks like, and by their prayerful example show their kids what it means to be a Christian. Parents are to give their children more than just information - they are to teach them transformation.

Consider : Eph 6:4 -  And, fathers,... bring up your children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Titus 2:3-5, says, ...they are to teach what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good managers of the household, kind, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited. (Read Prov 1:8-9; 22:6).

Answer : How have you fared? How is your school of virtue, "the domestic church"?

Implore : O Jesus my Lord, teach me to be a good child, a good spouse with Gospel values and let me not convert the school of virtue into one of vices.

God wants to transform you AND the way you live your life! SURRENDER!
