Today we brought you before our church and I couldn't hold back the tears. They were tears of joy as I was awestruck by our God. We've prayed for you since before you were born. God gave you to us, and today we stood brought you before our family and church family. Your Daddy and I made a vow to disciple you. We will try every day to teach and model the Gospel of Jesus Christ to you even (or maybe especially) through our weaknesses. Our greatest desire for your life is that you know and walk with Jesus Christ intimately.
Many people have prayed for you since before you were born and you are still prayed over and are dearly loved.
New Hope gave us two letters on this day. One was addressed to your daddy and me and exhorted us to disciple you. The other letter was addressed to you and prays for the day that you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Printed on our Parent and Child Commitment Card:
"But you...belong to God; so run from all these evil things, and follow what is right and good. Pursue a godly life, along with faith, love perseverance, and gentleness." 1 Timothy 6:11
