The Family Of God

The Family Of God – Not many of us have an opportunity to decide which human family we are born into.  We must accept the situation we have been given, whether good or bad.  We don’t get to decide our family members, who our sisters and brothers are, who our parents are, whether good or bad.  We don’t get to decide if our parents will show us love or not, to some extent if we will have good relationships with our brothers and sisters. We do not get to decide how they act or treat us. We do get to decide if we will remain part of the family, if we will show others love, and be a good member of the family or a bad one. We do get to decide if we will honor our parents and love our brothers and sisters.  We do get to choose if we want to be part of the Family of God by accepting God’s Word, Son, and Spirit. We do get to decide if we will change and become an honorable member of the Family of God, or will the Lord have to throw us out. We do get to decide as a child of God, if we are going to love our brothers and sisters in Christ no matter their appearance or the color of their skin. We have all fallen short, now we can decide to show each other love, and show the world what it means to live as a part of God’s Family.
