So if there's one thing I've learned about being a parent, it's that I'm in desperate need of Jesus's help every moment of every day to carry out my role. Paul Tripp has been laying down some sweet wisdom through his years and I've recently read a couple of his articles.

"It hit me, that if I were ever to be the tool of transforming grace in the lives of my children, I needed to be rescued daily, not from them, but from me! That's why Jesus came, so that I would have every resource that I need to be what he’s chosen me to be and do what he’s called me to do. In his life, death and resurrection I’d already been given all that I needed to be his tool of rescuing, forgiving and transforming grace."
