Following Jesus Together in Obedience

📖 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
 —John 14:15 (NKJV)

Obedience in a family is not about strict rule-keeping or control; it is about learning to follow Jesus together. When a family chooses to obey Christ, they are choosing to trust His wisdom and love as the foundation for their home.

Following Jesus together means allowing His teachings to shape how family members speak to one another, resolve conflict, make decisions, and show love. Obedience becomes a shared response to Christ’s love rather than a list of expectations. Parents model trust in Jesus through their choi8ces, and children learn obedience by watching faith lived out consistently.

There are times when obedience as a family is simple and times when it requires humility, patience, and sacrifice. In those moments, the Holy Spirit helps each family member respond with grace rather than frustration. Obedience rooted in love strengthens unity and builds a home where Christ’s presence is evident.

As families continue to walk in obedience together, trust grows—both in one another and in Christ. Over time, obedience becomes part of the rhythm of family life, shaping hearts that desire to honor Jesus and reflect His love in daily living.

Prayer:
 Jesus, help our family follow You together. Teach us to obey You from love and trust, not fear. Guide our decisions, our words, and our actions so that our home reflects Your truth and grace each day. 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. ● This space isn’t built on lofty theology or big platforms, it’s grounded in humble obedience, Kingdom living, and encouraging women and families to rediscover a faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. ● I don’t have a budget for an editor, publisher, or team behind the scenes. Everything you see here is created prayerfully and paid for out of pocket, using the tools I can afford to help present a clear, polished message of truth and hope. ● If you're blessed by what you read and would like to contribute toward this work, you’re welcome to support via: 📲 Cash App: $RootedRaised
