Loving Your Family

Good morning Brothers, Happy Thursday! Praise God for waking you up this morning. God loves you. I love you. Spend a few moments in prayer this morning, God will hear and answer your prayers. Let’s sing, Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou has been Thou forever will be. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided, Great is Thy faithfulness! Lord unto me! Today’s verse is from Ephesians 6:2-3. Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Now, everybody grows up in different family circumstances. Some are born into nuclear families, some are raised in situations of brokenness, and others are welcomed into adoptive families. Regardless of how or where we grew up, God calls us to love those who raised us. This may be a hard thing to do. While learning to love those despite of how they've hurt us may be one of the most difficult things we do, it is also one of the most life-changing. Consider how you can take steps today to better love those as well as honor God with our life. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
