Picture a group of mountain climbers at the base of a towering peak, their gear meticulously prepared, spirits resolute. As they gaze upward, a profound truth resonates: “There are no shortcuts to life’s greatest achievements.”
This journey of family discipleship mirrors a mountain climb. We begin with God’s incredible, unearned grace – a gift beyond measure. Yet, like scaling a challenging peak, discipleship requires intentional effort, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment.
For parents navigating the terrain of spiritual leadership, the path isn’t always smooth. Some days, family devotions feel like an uphill battle. Schedules clash, hearts seem distant, and motivation wanes. But take heart – every small step matters.
Your role isn’t about creating perfect spiritual moments, but consistently pointing your family toward God’s transformative love. It’s about walking together, stumbling sometimes, but always getting back up.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). These words are your encouragement. Your faithful efforts are planting seeds that will bear fruit, often in ways you cannot yet see.
Discipleship is a partnership with God’s work in your family’s life. It takes courage, vulnerability, and persistent love. The summit – a family deeply rooted in faith – is worth every challenging step.
Keep climbing. Your journey matters more than you know.
