Thank You Lord for loving my children enough to make them miserable in their rebellion… for allowing darkness to follow rebellion… for sometimes we need darkness before we can see the tiny portal of light leading to freedom.

As my children are released from bondage and experience freedom in certain parts of their lives… I pray they make the connection that their obedience in those areas set them free. I pray they submit to God’s authority in ALL areas, either all at once, or baby step by baby step until they are totally…
