Psalm 27:10 If my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me up.
I was recently a part of a continuing ed event for pastors where we talked a lot about family relationships. One of the pastors raised the issue that, when talking about families and family relationships, we need to remember that there are plenty of families that have no relationship at all. Completely broken. It puts conversations about difficult mothers-in-law and annoying sisters-in-law in perspective.
Jesus came into the world to be light in the darkest places and hope in places without hope. Jesus came to take up those whose mother and father have forsaken them. Jesus came to call you sister or brother. Jesus came to welcome you into God's family.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
