My thoughts on family issues and crisis

My thoughts on family issues and crisis

 

 

 

                As I reflect on yesterday’s meeting and write down my thoughts today, I would like to organize a few points that come to mind:

 

1.       Family issues are very personal, and I believe they can bring deep wounds and immense stress that we cannot avoid.

 

2.       Family issues make us feel the limits of our human capacity in a profound way.

 

3.       Without God's help, family issues can truly feel hopeless.

 

4.       I believe we should see the crisis in the family as an opportunity given by God, enduring with faith, relying solely on God, and pleading with Him.

 

5.       This opportunity is that God uses the crisis in the family to transform husbands and wives, parents, and children.

 

6.       One of the key aspects of that transformation is that through the breaking and shattering of the self, we are made to completely trust and rely on God, ultimately tasting God's goodness, who works all things together for good (Psalms 34:8; Romans 8:28).

 

7.       By trusting God more and more, we receive the great grace and blessing of knowing "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10).
