The Family of God

“My mother and My brothers are the ones who hear the Word of God and do it.” Like 8:21

In her devotion, Thelma Wells of the Women of Faith ministry, writes: “In the family of God, there is a bond deep inside that binds us one to the other. It is the glue of authentic love expressing itself in caring for, clinging to, and coming to the aid of each other without strings attached. It is the River of love streaming from the bloodline of our Savior that finds, fetches, and fastens us to one another.” Thelma Wells—Faith for a Lifetime, Daily Inspirations for Women of Faith

Such beautifully written truths. All humans long for connection. We were made for relationship with God and others. The body of Christ is such a beautiful thing. We are imperfect people serving a perfect God. We are sinners, saved by His marvelous grace. We are different shapes, sizes, and colors, but all created by our loving Heavenly Father. I am beyond thankful for the Family of God. I pray for those who don’t yet know how special God’s love is, and how His children find strength not only in Him, but also in one another.

“I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God…..🎶🎶🎶

Prayer: Father God, You are worthy of our praise now and forever more! We love You more than words can express, but You know our hearts. Thank You for giving us strength and comfort through our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Thank you for those who come alongside us to share our joys and our sorrows. Thank you for being so good to us as we journey along here on earth. Help us to always look for those in the Family of God who need a little extra encouragement, as well as those who do not yet have a relationship with You. May we be salt and light in a dark world. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
