Questions to Consider

What if your greatest reward as a husband and father comes not from public recognition, but from the unseen sacrifices heaven alone applauds?
Are you measuring faithfulness in your marriage by momentary comfort or by lifelong covenant commitment?
How might your children’s ability to believe in a loving Heavenly Father be shaped today by the way you quietly honor and love their mother?
In moments of unjust treatment, do you choose retaliation to defend yourself, or silent strength that reflects Christ?
