Don't Forget Jesus

Dear Kids,

There are so many people leaving the gospel of Jesus Christ. So. Many. People.

It makes me feel really sad because it is just the beginning.

I feel especially sad because I feel like the people who are being lead astray are those who are working "so hard at being good" that they just get so tired and they don't want to do it anymore.

The gospel is not about "working so hard at being good"! That has nothing to do with what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about! The gospel is about giving our souls to Christ, realizing our perfect worth the way He sees it, and then using that love to move through our lives.

It has caused me to sit back and think a lot about what I am doing with you, my kids. Are you really learning about Jesus? Not just about Him, but am I really teaching you HIM. If there are three things that are my goals as a mother they would be this:

1. Testimony of Jesus Christ as the Savior.
2. Self concept secure.
3. How to work hard and not give up.

If those are the only three things that you learn from me, then I've done my job. I want you to have a testimony of Jesus Christ FIRST and FOREMOST. The way HE looks at you and thinks about you. No one else. Just Him and our Father.

Please don't forget Jesus. Don't forget Jesus.

I love you,

Your Mom
