379. Lessons for My Younger Self: My Child Is Not a Product for Me to Make


Listen Later

Welcome back to the kitchen table. For so long, Bethany believed her children were a reflection of her efforts. If they behaved well, if they were happy, if they met expectations—she felt like she had done her job. And if they struggled? She carried that, too, as if their challenges were proof of her failure.

Bethany was looking for a product. Measuring, managing, and holding the weight of an outcome she was never meant to control. But God never asked her to create a finished product. He called her to walk with him in the process.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds her that her children are his workmanship, just as she is. Colossians 2:6-7 reminds her to stay rooted in faith, trusting that he is the one shaping their path.

Your children are not a product. They are in process—with him. And so are you.
