Family Matters

Dealing with family may be one of the toughest aspects of ministry, because they are dear to your heart. Like everything else they must be prayed for, and lifted up to God. One of my prayers is that God touches the lives of the members of my family. My prayer has been that each one experience the love of Christ, and are saved in the family of God. My family is changing and I want to thank God. I have been taking the lead, and sharing the love of Christ, and communicating with each one. I must remember always that I can not change anyone, but only share the love of God and His Word. If not careful I can get caught up in my feelings and emotions when dealing with family because of the love that I have for them. Within the next couple weeks I will have them visiting me, and I am very excited - but what is more important than my excitement is that they experience the love of Christ. God continues to open up opportunities for me to share the love of Christ in so many ways, and it is a blessing, but also a responsibility that I must stay before Him about. They're some events and activities that are coming up with the ministry, and in my personal life that I have been seeking God to show up, and show out in. I am learning the importance of including God in everything that is done - remarkable results begin to occur. I want to thank God this morning for beginning to bring healing and restoration within my family. Family Matters.
