God sees the x-ray of your son’s heart.

Brad Henry went to the doctor because of some knee pain. Looking at the x-ray, the doctor asked Brad, “Have you ever been shot?” Brad answered, “Yes, thirty-five years ago when I was rabbit hunting!”

It turned out that a piece of bullet had been lodged in Brad’s knee for decades.

As Brad’s story illustrates– X-rays can see what the human eye cannot. And in the same way, a crucial lesson we must teach our son is that God sees the depths of his heart.

On one hand, this is convicting– God sees his true motives and darkest sins. But more importantly, this is encouraging. As we’re reminded in Psalm 139:2– God understands our son’s every thought.

Remind your son today of how deeply he is seen and loved.
