The compassionate heart of Jesus this Father's Day [+ a Gift ๐ŸŽ inside]


Parents of teens (or preteens), this is for you!

Reader,

This weekend, we celebrate the awesome Dads and Husbands among us. (Happy Father's Day to you if you're a father! We appreciate you!)
โ€‹
I wrote this article for Desiring God this week, and it equally applies to Mothers and Fathers.

Does any phrase more frequently capture the heart of Christ for his children than "he was moved with compassion"?

It's the compassionate heart of a Father not to move away from his difficult children, but to move towards them.

That's the model of a good Father.

I pray that this will encourage Moms and Dads in this challenging, yet fun and tumultuous, never-a-dull-moment journey of parenting teens.

Grateful for you,

Cara

You are richer than you think in Christ

Your Hidden Life + FREE Chapter Download Reader, Colossians 3:3 is one of my favorite verses. In speaking of our union with Christ, Paul says, "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Do you ever think of your life that way? Your life doesn't consist primarily of all that's outward and visible for the world to see, but what's concealed, secret, and hidden with Christ in God in heaven. Your hidden life in Christ is also developed and strengthened, in secret. It's in the...
