I am writing this blog to stress the importance of having a family. I’m not talking about a natural family for which we all grew up in; I’m talking about a spiritual family in which we all long for. Now, sometimes your natural family can also function as your spiritual family, but that is pretty rare. As christians we all need people around us to love on us and keep us accountable. A lot of times, christian men and women wonder around searching for a place they can call home. A place where there are people whom they can love and trust with their lives. God desires for all of us to have this type of experience with one another. The scripture says in Psalm 68:6 “God places the solitary in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell”. God does not desire for anyone of us to walk alone. We are coming into times where this concept is going to absolutely essential for the body of Christ. If there is one thing that is going to distinguish us from the world it is going to be our everyday expression toward Christ and one another. The world longs for truth and they long to see people who genuinely love one another in a family setting. In a world filled with family strife and dis-function,  We must be the hope that speaks of the redeeming power and love of God through our family life. “…and they will know that we are Christians by our love for one another”. So be deliberate about building relationships and finding people you can ‘go after God’ with. For this will be our greatest strength in the coming days.
