“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye’… But I say to you…”
— Matthew 5:38–39 NASB1995
📊 A Culture of Grace
Revenge may feel fair, but Jesus shows a better way. In a Kingdom home, we don’t repay wrong with more wrong. We respond with love, even when it’s hard.
When siblings fight or friends offend, it’s a teaching moment. Jesus calls us to break the cycle of “getting even” and instead build a legacy of peace.
🕯 A Mother’s Role
Model mercy. When you’re wronged or frustrated, respond with gentleness. Show your children how grace looks in real life—not just in stories.
📖 Talk About It:
- When has someone in our family hurt your feelings?
- How did you respond? How could you respond differently next time?
🪡 Kingdom Practice
Try a “no payback” challenge this week. If someone wrongs you, do something kind in return. Talk about it at the end of the day.
✍️ Prayer:
Lord, help our family show grace, not revenge. Make our home a place where mercy wins, and love is stronger than pride. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● 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.
