Haha, that was a great drawing your son did. Then and now he knows you have his back. What an incredible blessing for a mom to know their children have such confidence and trust in them.
For different reasons, I hear you on that note of obedience. I think obedience is a fundamental virtue for all who seek to live a life in Christ. The question of how to live that virtue daily is crucial, but most do not give it much thought. They answer: "I'm obedient to God." Yes, but every virtue is lived directly toward other humans, not just God. To whom am I obedient in my life?
This is one of my favorite essays so far. True joy also has an element of ferocity, used wisely. So good to have it in our spiritual arsenal. ❤️
Such an incredible point. Thank you 🙏

Yes! Thank you for articulating that much better than I.
