As parents, we are all leaving a legacy. Whether we recognize or not, we are leading our children, helping to "shape" them if you will. It can be a scary, and awakening reality when you think about the responsibility. Or it can be an exciting challenge that brings more purposefulness to your "everydays" with your children. The empowering truth, is that God is the creator of life and of families. He choose you to be your child's parent. When I get overwhelmed by the task at hand, I find encouragement and grace in that simple fact.
This passage teaches that God loves
and has a purpose for us even before we're born--that from the very
beginning of our lives, God has a unique plan for us. It's not just true for us parents as individuals, but also for our children. And God choose you to be the parent of your son or daughter. He has confidence in you as a parent... but you have to trust Him and allow Him to speak to you and guide in the decisions you make as a parent.
Jeremiah 1:5
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
I hope you will join me on this journey of discovering what it means to Purposefully Leave a Legacy
