many of you are familiar with my food laws. [future post to come on complete list of food laws. stay posted] we were sitting at the lunch table today as a family and micah made a comment about his disgust with any sandwich containing mayo. which led to a conversation between my wife and me about how he is too much like me. but in that moment i was so happy. i love the fact that my sons are like me. [which led to a teaching moment from Horton Hears a Who, but that is a different post]. Sara began to comment that he should not dislike mayo just because i do. Then because I turn everything into a sermon I broke into my “heart of the father” sermon.
I said it is the heart of every father that their sons would be like them. That is what God wants from us, for Him to be reflected in us. He wants us to become more like Him. so bottom line. my kids dislike mayo and it brings joy to my heart. when we start to dislike sin and injustice it brings joy to God’s heart.
are you bringing joy to God’s heart today?
