We
cannot pick our family. We cannot make the members of our family love us,
believe in us or truly care about us. But we can surround ourselves by people
who do.
Matthew
12:46-50 says, 46 While Y’shua was still talking to the crowds,
his mother and brothers were standing outside. They wanted to talk to him. 47 Someone
told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to
talk to you.” 48 He replied to the man speaking to him, “Who is my mother, and who
are my brothers?”49 Pointing with his hand at his disciples, he
said, “Look, here are my mother and my brothers. 50 Whoever does what my Father in heaven wants is
my brother and sister and mother.”
Even Y’shua knew the pain
of rejection from His earthly family. That did not stop Him from doing what He
was called to do. We need to follow His example. Love your family, pray for
your family but do not let their opinions of you stop you from doing what you know
you are supposed to do!
Have a blessed and
wonderful day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your
home.
