I was listening to Beth Moore earlier today... She said that since healing takes effort, we don't always do it for ourselves. However, we need to do what is takes so that others don't get the 2nd hand effects of our abuse. If we don't keep on the path to healing for ourlseves we need to do it for God and for our "offspring." If we don't have childern of our own, we still have "spiritual offspring" to be thinking about...
Oh, this is a good point, Slimon. Dr. Laura has said that everyone has two chances at childhood: when they are kids and when they have kids.
As a kid, I looked at my family and decided if I ever had any kids they would NOT grow up like I did. That was rather presumptuous, but God has blessed, and my kid has had a totally different upbringing. She has known the Lord from a young age and has had her parents' love, attention and training. By God's grace and not my own, she is a fine Christian young lady. I am thrilled out of my socks. Thank You, Jesus, for your faithfulness to me, my husband and our dear daughter! May my daughter's life adorn Your Gospel all her life!
