A Family Calling


Hello World! I am in a way of odd and senseless matter. But ignore me.
My new thought is this, and it truly is amazing.
God loves the family. Now I know this sounds a little old for me, "Alex you are talking about family?" But yes I am. I am passionate about it.
Here is the deal, and this is something I plan on continuing to write about. First of all God instituted the family. It is the first human structure besides marriage that we see in the Bible.
Without the family, the basic idea of society fails. Wow!
But let's not be drastic here. I am blunt but this is soft. I like it.
But really what I see God telling me is to recognize the gifts that God has put in each of your family members. This really opens doors. Understand that God has put children, parents, brothers, and sisters in the family to build upon a foundation that God has already built.
We see this in Matthew. Mary has just been notified that she is pregnant with the Savior of the world this is DEEP stuff.
Now here she comes to tell her fiance, whom she has not has sex with, and tells him, "Hey honey I am pregnant." Now Joseph being like a lot of men most likely freaked out. I am not saying that he exploded on her, he just melted. But once he saw the destiny in her life, his entire perspective changed. He began to help her. Not only that, but the Bible indicates that he "did not know her" until Christ was born. It's not about the fact that he was married, and sacrificed his wedding night, but it is about the fact that he was so passionate about seeing his wife's destiny fulfilled that he would give up something of himself.
It is so important that we do not get stagnant, and refuse to help those in our relationships and their walk in Christ.
