<strong>Family</strong> was designed to be permanent. Tragically,<br />
in our world today that’s not always the case.<br />
Sometimes spouses or children are abandoned.<br />
Sometimes fights and disagreements push people<br />
away. Often family members simply drift apart.<br />
But the original design for the family was that<br />
“you got what you got” and you were all stuck<br />
with each other. While that means at times you<br />
had to listen to Uncle Bob’s war stories at the<br />
family picnics AGAIN, it also provided a beautiful<br />
picture of loyalty<br />
and unconditional<br />
love. You stick<br />
together, put up<br />
with each other,<br />
and love each<br />
other because<br />
that’s what families<br />
do. You’re in<br />
it together, for keeps.<br />
YOU STICK TOGETHER, PUT UP WITH<br />
EACH OTHER, AND LOVE EACH OTHER<br />
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT FAMILIES DO.<br />
WE ARE FAMILY<br />
Human families often fall short of this ideal, but<br />
God created our spiritual families to live this out<br />
in ways that bless us and honor Him. No matter<br />
what your biological family looks like or struggles<br />
with, your Christian family is here to support<br />
you, encourage you, and help you grow, and this<br />
week we’re digging into God’s Word to learn more<br />
about what that means.<br />
