The importance of Family?

Who or what is the family

In the eyes of the creator and love for his creation a family or Families are the foundation of society. We need to understand that humanly we have the ability to make choices and often times we make choices which affect the family circle. Many times we here these words if God is so powerful why did he allow this and that to happen. The true reason or blame seldom points to individuals and groups that makes poor choices to satisfy our own desires and greed. As parents we desire and love to know that when we give instruction to our children we are of the expectation that they will carry out the request or fulfill the conditional …………. When children become non-compliant as parents many of us become annoyed frustrated and even angry. Odd as it might seems God the father is in this position all the time. Why because humanly we tend to be more non-compliant than compliant. So the key take-away from our earthly parental styles is that God our heavenly fathers is expecting us to adhere to his instructional manual to make life fulfilling and less complicated in operating. In today’s society as well as in antiquity broken families and relations causes rippling effects. These rippling effect not only impact our own lives, but also the communities and the world in which we lived.  As parents sometimes we inflict our children knowingly and unknowingly. Some scars leaves a lifelong impact. Others can be forgiven or simple turn the eye. In other words depending on the strength and our foundation within the family we can rise or fall to the dust from which we came when leading the family in the wrong direction. When the family is unhealthy we all pay and the longer we ignore the suffering the greater the pain. Many of these pain includes:

·       Fear

·       Alienation

·       Violence, abuse and crime

·       Dysfunctional family relationships

·       Poor productivity in the family and society

·       This brokenness in the family foundation results in rendering us victims of the law, men and women behinds bars and unsafe society in which we live.

Friends we need to know and understand that God did not intends that the fall in the garden would result in a brand new slate. It simple put we need to obey God and our parents and our lives will reflect the grace of God.
