People develop & build up relationships within dating, friendships, & sometimes with fellow coworkers, but the most important area that some people ignore is… Building a relationship within the FAMILY!!! Family members are often bullied, taken for granted, disrespected, lied to, used, etc. Some feel that they can say whatever they want, treat family however they want or do whatever they want to their family members because they will ALWAYS be there! No one is concern with the feelings of certain family members. Sometimes hurt from family may take years or a lifetime to heal from. Some family members selfish (or abuse) behavior makes some people withdraw from their family & become closer to their friends or others. The sad thing is… How people treat their biological family becomes how they treat their church family! God modeled His family (The Church) to be the example on how we suppose to love & treat our families. Sadly, it’s the total opposite! God wants us to show compassion, understanding & love to not only those who are related by love, but to those related by BLOOD! No one has a choice in what family they are born in or who they are related to. That means, God has a purpose! Start building God’s Kingdom by building God’s people within your family with a simple APOLOGY!! Understand things from their perspective, not YOUR! Remember, family may always be family, but the relationship & trust within family may not always be! All family members are EQUALLY important to God!!
