The Joy of Faith Passed On
Scripture
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
Few hopes run deeper than the hope that those we love will walk in truth. That hope can bring great joy, but it can also expose grief when family members make choices we cannot control. Love them faithfully, but do not confuse your responsibility with God's work in their hearts. Your influence remains meaningful when it is offered without manipulation. Pray, listen, speak truth with gentleness, and leave room for God to work in ways you cannot see. A legacy of faith is not a guarantee you can manage. It is a witness you can live. Entrust your children, grandchildren, and spiritual family to the One who loves them even more deeply than you do.
Reflection
Whom do I need to place again in God's hands instead of trying to control?
Prayer
Father, draw those I love into truth. Give me wisdom to love well, speak gently, and trust Your patient work. Amen.
