Feeling the weight of your girl’s old sins returning over and over again? She’s remorseful about her failure, but she doesn’t know what to do. Neither do you. Godly parents, we see you in those moments of frustration. 

Ready for a hard truth? You can’t manufacture your girl’s holiness. Neither can she. That work rests solely on the Holy Spirit cultivating her soul. Ephesians 4 masterfully outlines God working in each believer’s heart through the “grace given to us according to the measure of Christ’s gift”—meaning grace abounds but not in our timeline, rather in God’s.  

Your girl’s sorrow over sin is a beautiful sign of repentance—a heart God faithfully honors. It’s time to pray with her for patience in the journey and gratitude for God’s work in her heart. 

Ephesians 4:7, NKJV
