The compassionate heart of Jesus this Father's Day [+ a Gift 🎁 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!)
​
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

Our Mother's Day Hope Reader, I know Mother's Day brings a host of emotions with it. You might be in a hard, unfulfilling season filled with insecurities, and you wonder... Can I be a good mom? Am I a good mom? Will they remember me as a good mom? But I've learned that as soon as you've figured out one season, it changes. The seasonal aspect of motherhood means that while some seasons are for planting or watering, others are for harvest. And there's hope for you and me in whatever season is...

The Incorruptible One Is Risen!

The Incorruptible Christ Has Risen! Reader, Tucked away in one of the most beloved psalms is a hidden gem of resurrection hope and confidence. I've read Psalm 16 for years, but I never saw this verse as a prophecy β€” until recently. Once I did, I was amazed! David writes, "For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption" (Psalm 16:10). Friend, this Easter, we celebrate the risen Christβ€”the one who did not stay in the grave long enough to experience corruption. πŸ™ŒπŸ»...
