Devotional: YOUR FAMILY

Paul, while writing to the Ephesian church, says that ‘every family on earth derives its name’ from God, the Father. 

Families are such exceptional units. Every family, according to this verse, gets its unique identity from God. No matter what our families look like — even if they’re flawed, imperfect, and far from what we might imagine it should be — they are a group of individuals we are connected to, so intimately and distinctively.

Today, let’s choose to be thankful for our families. Let’s mention each member of our family — close or distanced, near or far, likable or not — and thank God for their lives. Let’s acknowledge how we derive our familial identity from God. 

Journaling Prompt: BOUQUET

Families are so much like bouquets with different-looking flowers coming together to form something beautiful.
