A Bond Like No Other

Just think, family bonds are the one thing that God created since the beginning of this earth that has been an ongoing battle to maintain and still remains in existence today. In the original family consisting of Adam and Eve and their offspring, we have the instance where Cain became envious of Abel and murdered him. Then God, graced Adam and Eve with another son, Seth in which Noah and his family derived. Jesus’ family is another example, when God instructed Joseph to leave Bethlehem so that the king could not kill their son. There are multiples more where attempts were made to dysfunctionally ruin the family structure and God turns what was meant to destruct into something so great that only He could get glory for. He is the Lord God who restores and maintains. (Nehemiah 5:11-12; Psalm 17:8)
We were just with our families for a week. It is a pleasure to leave our home town full of gratitude for being able to spend time with our families and reminiscing of the olden days. There were lots of up moments and there were instances where we looked at each other and said “Just pray!” There is a true fight to, if our families are not already won for the kingdom to display the love of Yeshua (Jesus), and to help maintain their salvation if they’ve already committed their hearts to God. We are determined to first strengthen and maintain the bond of our home and an extension of this evident love will affect our distant families. Regardless of how torn apart your family may be at this time, close or distant, God when He is entrusted to do so, can miraculously restore anything that was destructed. We can personally attest to this fact as God has done a reconstruction in the two of us. Because we did not stop fighting, we are beginning to see marriages in our family that at one point looked hopeless, be reunited. Glory to God!
In essence, family regardless of how broken or distant, is the most important bond that God has placed together. He is more than powerful enough to restore, reunite, and most importantly maintain our family bonds as we have seen since the beginning of time and even in our lives today. It is our job to fight to do whatever it takes (in love) to see this power within our family bonds.
