My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." <br /><br />I think a lot of people get confused about Mathew 10:35 (35 ‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law), I know I did. I gave it reason to explain why my mom and I didn't mesh, because I was saved and she wasn't. In my household, it was different. I remember bringing up this situation to a sister in Christ, and she asked me what I thought God thought about my situation. I said to her that God wants me to forgive her and continue witnessing for her salvation. And she said to me, don't you think that God cares about your family? God convicted me on that day that it is not His will for the family to be separated and that He indeed cares that my family stays together, He is the God that restores. Yes, He does not want the family to be placed above Him, but He created the family. He also convicted me that there was a stronghold over my mom that was confusing her to say those things. The enemy was causing division and brokenness over my family through this stronghold. I fasted and prayed, and God has set her free from the enemy's control. My point is sisters, please do not think that God doesn't understand the love between a family, He is the one who created it, and He cares about each of our families whether they are saved or not.

I recently moved back in with my parents after college and been having the most difficult time dealing with my father. He really knows how to push my buttons and can be very demanding at times. I understand that this is a test that I must not have passed because I have been here before. But instead of getting upset with him. I should pray for him and encourage him to strengthen his relationship with God. And although it gets hard, I know that my relationship with my Dad and with Christ will grow stronger. All of this has been a mirror to show me, myself and how mean I can be at times and how I have unforgiveness in my heart towards my father.

This was right on time, I recently had some of family tell me that I spend to much at church, with my "church friends" and at church events and I was really down about it and not understanding why they didn't get that church and serving is not something I do to pass the time, its what I LOVE, I'm passionate about serving Christ, working with youth and going out into my community to share His love, its like breathing for me really. I just thank you for this post because it really changed my perspective and encouraged me!

I decided to dedicate my life to christ last year because I was having more problems than family problems. I was depressed, emotional, empty, and angry. I was like this for years and god was telling to come to him but I didn't listen. After one big argument I had with my family member that left me in tears and a bad headache, I decided to dedicate my life to christ. And now at the age of 19, I'm happy and satisfied. I have not been depressed not even once. I'm still having problems with them but less because I have been separating myself. I still have a lot to work on but hey! it was worth the change!!!!!Trianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872995691133366505.post-21859921714334214682013-09-11T09:03:58.918-07:002013-09-11T09:03:58.918-07:00CONFIRMATION!

Last week the woman who raised me (my grandmother) and I had a heated discussion. Monday morning I told a friend of mine, "God has me here to bring them into getting to know Him on a deeper and more intimate level." I like the way you stated it- I'm the "Abraham" of my family. You were just confirmation on what God showed me this past week.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your walk with Christ and letting Him use you. You inspire me.

My fiancé of 5 years, partner of 8 years and father of my three children refused to accept my new found life in Christ. I was convicted of fornication and wanted to get married ASAP, but the man I thought loved Christ completely denounced him and said he no longer believed in God. I was and am still devastated. We have since separated and he has moved on living the wild single life. My heart is broken, but I know my God will heal my heart. I pray daily for the salvation of my children's father, but I understand I have to let go and let God do what He has to do in the situation, and even if we are not meant to be together, I trust that God is working everything out for the good of me and my children. In the meantime I am focusing on Christ and raising my children to know and love The Lord for themselves. The Christian walk is hard, but I thank God for Jesus who makes all things possible. Thanks Heather for ministering such an on time word. God is so good!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450555480439826278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872995691133366505.post-7072381191630812102013-09-10T12:15:52.960-07:002013-09-10T12:15:52.960-07:00Great post heather!Great post heather!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872995691133366505.post-25198461131519730812013-09-10T12:01:40.772-07:002013-09-10T12:01:40.772-07:00WoW!!!!!
