Mark 5:19
“Go home to
your family and announce to them all that the Lord in his pity has done for
you.”
You have to leave home thinking that you
cannot take it anymore – maybe an abusive father, or a nagging wife, or a
dishonest husband… or maybe because you just want to have your freedom or be
independent.
Still, there are those who have not left home, but
still are being missed by their family.
A very busy husband, a rebellious son or a gambler wife – who would
rather spend most of their time with their friends or work than with their
family at home.
In our life, we may have experienced either one. We may have experienced being away for so
long, that we already forgot the love and warmth that belonging to a family
gives.
And then we start to question God, “why?” But sometimes, it is too late.
The family now is in constant attack
brought by wrong ideals as shown in mass media and some people who want to
challenge the power of God. Yes, Satan
is alive, and breaking up the family is his main concern.
But God would not allow it to happen. And as family and children of God, we should
not allow that to happen.
Armed with faith, you can stand firm and
you can create a home worthy of Heavenly Father's children. Obedience, faithfulness, love together with
prayers can help repel that evil influences coming into our lives.
Yes, it is hard to cope up… because you are
trying to do it your way. So why not do
it God’s way? Go back to your family,
they are waiting.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father,
let me go back to my family. Let me go home and let them feel that I still
love them. And protect my family from
the devil as we only serve You and You alone.
Amen +
Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.
