Along with the pastor, I baptized you yesterday. I felt so proud of you and tremendously thankful to God. There’s nothing more joyous for Christian parents than to see their children following Jesus and growing in faith.
You have been blessed with tremendous gifts and wisdom beyond your years. You are extremely talented and insightful, and you have been born into a place and time when you have nearly unlimited opportunities to develop your potential. Don’t throw away what God has given you. These privileges, blessings, and gifts are not merely for your own enjoyment, but for the sake of building God’s kingdom. Please remember, “When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required” (Luke 12:48). At the end of life, no one ever regrets living as God calls us to live. Use what God has given you to make your mark on this world—a mark that looks a lot like the light of Christ.
I love you with all my heart … Mommy 🙂
