Where Love is....... Family

Dearest Family Member(s),
I strongly believe this message is solemnly for us; keeping us in unity, fulfilling the purpose of God. Be blessed as you read and meditate on it.

 "Wherever you find love is your family." Dr Fenojo

16 Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and turmoil with it. 17 Better is a dish of vegetables where love is than a fattened ox served with hatred. Proverbs 15: 16 - 17

The family is a place where love is found. 
Basically, individual needs love and seek for love, especially when the immediate family couldn't render it. People associate in a group where they feel welcomed, belong or cared for. This explains why some people join groups, clubs, gangs etc to feel the sense of belongings in the society.

Whether intentionally or not, we all need peace and love. We all seek for love.

Reflection:

• What do I understand by love?
• When people come here, would they find love here?
• Do I love other people?
• Is there love in my heart, family?
  
• Am I loved?

1 John 4:7-12
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

When we seek God, we find love. In reciprocal, we love other people because of God in us. Another reason we love unconditionally is because we have also experienced love. 

Human being by nature are selfish. We tend to 'love' others with intent of something in return. In fact, the human love is 'selfish' while divine family love is 'selfless', 'other-full'.

Family love its about helping others to be what God wants for them. Its the love without expecting repay. 

And your reward, my reward of loving others unconditionally is in God. Read story of 'The Good Samaritan' in Luke 10 verses 25- 37.

In a family, every unit of the family works together for the family success. There might be moments of offence, yet a family should forgive and let go. Remember that 'united we stand, divided we fall'.

The family is like a body, machine or system. Every of its organ, parts is working towards its effectiveness and efficiency. 

A family unit without true love cannot fulfil the purpose of God.

Also, a family without love will be slowed down. Love help us to keep unity. Love help us to maintain peace by forgiving one another in the family.

Every family needs Peace, Unity and Love to function effectiveness and efficiently.

Prayers

Dear Father, please fill my heart with your love.
Dear Father, please heal my family and help us to love one another.
Father God, please fill our nation with your love. In Jesus Name I prayed. Amen.
