“Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.” –Max Lucado, When God Whispers Your Name

If there is any place in the world that is a safe place to fail it should be in a healthy, Christian church. And our kids should know that. The members of the church must learn to relate to their kids the same way their Savior relates to them... "There is nothing you can do that will make us stop loving you. We may not be crazy about what you're doing right now, but it doesn't change how we feel about you. We may not appreciate what you're doing, but we're glad you're in here

"We should not only understand the importance of our waiting on God but also realize something even more wonderful – the Lord waits on us.” Isa. 30:18
