What God Would Say to the Mom Who Doubts She’s Good Enough

I see you. I see you working hard, managing logistics, guiding and protecting. I see you, and I love you like crazy.

Let’s sit together, just you and Me. I want to share truths with your fragile heart, truths that you need to hear.

I want you to know that you’re a good mom.

In fact, you’re a very good mom. I’ve been calling my people “very good” since “in the beginning.” And you are no different.

It’s true. Yet, I hear you answer back, “But I just…” as you list your sins to me.

I know.

But don’t you remember that these sins are forgiven? That they were nailed to the tree and you bear them no more? This includes the guilt. When you ask me for forgiveness, I’m faithful and just to forgive you. Now turn and go a different direction.
