“Make no oath at all… Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no,’ ‘no.’”
— Matthew 5:34, 37 NASB1995
🚬 Raising Truth-Tellers
Jesus reminds us that honesty doesn’t need special words or dramatic promises. A truthful family culture starts with plain, honest speech.
Teach your children the value of consistent words and reliable actions. A trustworthy home reflects the heart of a trustworthy God.
🕯 A Mother’s Role
Help your children practice saying what they mean and keeping their word. Let your own honesty set the tone for conversations, discipline, and promises.
📖 Talk About It:
- How does our family show we mean what we say?
- Are there times when we use words lightly or exaggerate?
🪡 Kingdom Practice
As a family, make a commitment this week: No exaggeration, no broken promises. Just plain, kind honesty.
✍️ Prayer:
Lord, help our family be known for honesty. Let our words be few, our hearts sincere, and our promises trustworthy. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
