Read 1 Samuel 17. Take a minute to think about someone you wish you could be like. There’s nothing wrong with looking up to someone, but you never need to try to be someone else or envy them for something they can do that you can’t. God created you and there is no one in the whole world designed exactly like you. Ask God to show you how He has made you to be you.

Just as God created our children in His own unique way, He too created us as parents. Our children pick up on more than we realize, so it’s important we don’t lose sight of our own unique gifts. The more we demonstrate love for others the more our children will feel confident to put their own gifts to work. God created us to love others, so find a way this month to let His light shine through you.
