"Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it."
-Psalm 127:1-
"Parents! The work entrusted to us is holier than we know. The precious instruments, so delicate, so wonderfully made, so marred by sin already, and so exposed to its power, is of such inconceivable worth. To take charge of an immortal soul, to train a will for God and eternity, surely we ought to shrink from it. But we cannot. If we are parents, the duty is laid upon us. But, thank God! Sufficient grace is prepared and promised, too. If we do but give up our home and our life to God for Him to come in and rule, He will Himself take possession, and by the gentle influence of His Holy Spirit bow their will to Himself."
Rev. Andrew Murray, The Children for Christ, 1887
How good it was to read this after a challenging day! Think I need to share it on FB!
