A house divided can not stand is a well known quote from the Word of God. Too many times we allow the enemy to come in our hearts and minds and tear down the earthly strength that we should always be able to lean upon, our family. Oftentimes, this division comes in the form of envy( comparing ones successes with another), hate( feeling like one was treated better than you were), evil speaking, neglecting to pray and selfishness. When thoughts like such enter into our minds and we do not cast it down it then takes a root in our hearts. Once in our hearts, we then began to act on these false feelings that we have left room for entry. This then, breads unforgiveness. As easy as it is to read about forgiveness in the bible and even memorize it (forgive so that your Father in heaven can forgive you), it is not that simple applying it. When someone has done you wrong, especially ones you love and were once close to it is even more difficult to forgive them. We take it personal. We have to come to the place for the sake of our family, however, to look pass the fault and with a true heart of forgiveness ask God to forgive you and forgive the offender as well as a stronger heart to be able to forgive more readily in any situation. Differences will always be amongst our family, but the most prevalent commonality should be a willingness to forgive one another. The beauty and the rewards that are found in a family who knows how to forgive one anothers faults are bountiful.
Always in Love,
