\"\"I’m reading Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus, <\/em>by Elyse Fitzpatrick. I love the quote from Martin Luther that she opens Chapter 3 with:<\/p>\n

The law says, “do this,” and it is never done. Grace says, “Believe in this,” and everything is already done. <\/em><\/p>\n

We will never be perfect parents. Our children will never be perfect children. We will become discouraged or angry or just plain pains-in-the-neck, if we think we can measure up to God’s standard.<\/p>\n

But Jesus was the perfect Man, and we can rest in His finished<\/strong> work. \u00a0God, in His grace and mercy, will accomplish His holy will, and He will use us when we are willing to humble ourselves and trust in what Christ has done for us.<\/p>\n
