2 Nephi 16


This is getting into the weird Isaiah stuff I don’t understand. What I do understand was this: I completely understand Isaiah’s feelings of unworthiness before the Lord, and the glory of his redemption. I also understand that he chose to be the messenger; that God always allows us our agency and never forces anyone to serve Him. He is asking now, who will go—and every day I have to make the choice whether or not it will be me. I’m grateful for the choice, and I love Him for allowing me to make, even though I choose wrong so often.

How does that apply to my parenting? How can I allow them to exercise their agency, while still teaching them? How do I lovingly and fairly apply or allow consequences? I have so many questions! That’s something to pray about.
