May you carry all your burdens to Him and commune with Him of all that is in your heart... and may you abound yet more and more in this holy freedom with your Lord. He is a near Kinsman and loves to be dealt with in all simplicity of confidence.

I have learnt my guiltiness
O, how vile my low estate,
Since my ransom was so great!

Children can well understand God by observing the holy or unholy walk of father or mother. They keenly observe, and in the very order of God so it is, they must be affected by the walk and spirit of their parents.
