“Today, I commit to live as loved. I choose to believe I am fully and wholeheartedly loved by God for exactly who I am. I don’t have to be more, do more, or achieve more to be loved by Him. When I am tempted to believe the lies that have held me back for so many years, I will replace those lies with the truth that I am fully loved by God. Jesus loves me unconditionally and doesn’t judge me based upon my kids’ behaviors or choices. I will put my hope in Him, not in my child’s choices. I choose to be okay with my children making mistakes and messing up because I know this is why Jesus came. I will focus on pointing my kids to Jesus and will no longer spend my days trying to be my children’s rescuer and Holy Spirit. I choose to open my tightly clenched fists trying to control all of life, and hold out my hands to accept the gift of God’s love for me. I refuse to believe the lies that tell me I’m not measuring up and am missing the mark of perfection as a parent. Instead, I choose to rest in the truth that I am created in the image of God and He sees me as His masterpiece. I don’t have to beat myself up when I feel like I don’t have what it takes but will remember that I am enough in Christ. I was made for more than living a life stifled by lies and suffocated by false beliefs. I will replace those lies with the truth of who I am in Christ. I am loved. I am forgiven. I am enough in Christ. Jesus, thank You for loving me exactly as I am. Thank You for not expecting me to parent perfectly, but for being the Ultimate Example of a Love-Centered Parent to me. I rest in Your amazing love for me. Let me be a conduit of God’s love to others. May it pour through me and spill out to everyone I come into contact with.”
