Since the heart is only known by God, how can we be SURE?

As Christians we love and forgive. If I am not that kind of Christian woman my kids or anyone associated with my witness is going to have a skewed image of God because I taught them forgiveness and love and didn't exemplify it, as way of example.

My kids know that I love them to death!

Pressing my other *way forgotten* post was in response to Rico.

At that part of the thread we were discussing "fathers" so I shared a particular testimony in order to bring up another point.

I was hoping it would minister to those struggling with those issues we were discussing, and may open a window to a bigger picture.

Yes mom and dads can hurt our view of God, but right then someone was hurting about their dad, and Rico didnt quite understand my post, since it got mixed up in the shuffle of things.
