Family is not just built from a marriage union. It is also built from a union with the Trinity.
I previously shared how the fall of man brought disability and dysfunction to a lot of families.
Yet, God in His infinite love and mercy made a way of escape and redemption for as many who are bleeding from the wound of failed homes — and every one carrying the void only He can fill.
God setteth the solitary in families…
Psalm 68:6a (KJV)
The Bible tells us that no matter how broken your birth or adoptive family might be, in the family of God, one presided over by The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, you are fully loved and wanted.
You are never alone. You have the Lord, and you have your siblings in numbers to love you and journey with you on earth.
The church is your spiritual family and in God’s house are beautiful sons and daughters of God tailored to suit your destiny and purpose; this is what we call your local church.
Your church family is meant to hold your hands in your Christian journey with Jesus, fill in the gap in areas where earthly families may have failed, and strengthen you to become the best version of yourself spiritually and otherwise.
Dear Christian, do not do life alone. Prioritize this heavenly gift God has richly blessed you with and embrace the gift and blessing they are to you.
No matter the bad experiences you might have had in the past, there is a safe Haven for you in God.
You are not fatherless: you have God the Father. And on earth, He has prepared for you a shepherd, a pastor after his heart, who will tend to you with tender loving care and feed you with knowledge and understanding (Jeremiah 3:15).
So, let Abba guide you into the room He has prepared for you, and trust that He will not lead to your rooms filled with wolves despised as sheep or with men unaligned with your path, uniqueness and purpose.
A great earthly family is a solid foundation for life, but the family of God is the greatest need of man, and one of his greatest blessings.
