God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
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).
