Removing Family Barriers

What walls stand within your family? And what part have you played in the distancing? Have you asked those loved ones to forgive you yet?

Pride is at the heart of every argument. Make sure it’s not yours. 

As we model humility and love, our children also learn to ask forgiveness, seek the Lord for change, and experience that joy and freedom that come from obedience to Christ and right relationship with Him and others.

Our mistakes are not a surprise to the Lord. And we make enough of them, they shouldn’t surprise us either. 1 John 1:5-9; Psalm 139:23-24.

I can’t tell you how many times I have had to tell my children, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me.” Knowing my great need for forgiveness also opens me wide to freely offer them grace. With my children, that has meant they know they can come to me with anything. If I do respond in the flesh instead of the Spirit, the quicker I ask forgiveness, the quicker I can move on to listening to their hearts and lovingly leading them into the Father’s arms, where they will find the healing and guidance they need for their trial.

Is there anyone you haven’t forgiven yet? Or someone you need to ask forgiveness? Spend time today asking the Lord, and then following up on what He shows you.
