Loving Your Family
Ephesians 6:2-3 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

The idea of "family" can mean so many different things to people, but one thing is clear: God wants us to love our family.
In the Old Testament, God gave Moses this important command:
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you."
— Exodus 20:12 (NIV)
In the New Testament, Paul reminds the church in Ephesus about this command. He stresses that if we want to follow Jesus, we should learn to love everyone, especially our family.
We all come from different family backgrounds. Some of us grow up in loving homes, while others may experience challenges like broken families or adoption. No matter what, God asks us to love those who raised us.
It can be tough sometimes, especially when a family member has hurt us. But remember, Jesus encourages us to love our enemies and pray for them.
Learning to love our family can make a big difference in our lives. It helps us grow in love and honor God. So, take a moment to think about how you can show love to those around you today!
❤️❤️❤️
Prayer:
Abba Father God, thank You for being a good Father to me. Today, please show me how to honor You by honoring the people You've placed in my life. show me how to selflessly serve others, and give me opportunities to encourage both the parents and kids You've placed in my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.

John 6:35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
Jesus replied, “I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God’s kingdom!”
Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent Him to save them!
(John 3:3;15-17 CEV)
So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. (Romans 10:9 CEV)
