GOD CHANGES FAMILIES These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. ACTS 1:14 KJV God has proven himself as a faithful father. Now it falls to us to be trusting children. Let God give you what your family doesnt. Let him fill the void others have left. Rely upon him for your affirmation and encouragement. Look at Pauls words: you are Gods child, and God will give you the blessing he promised, because you are his child (Gal. 4:7, emphasis added). Having your familys approval is desirable but not necessary for happiness and not always possible. Jesus did not let the difficult dynamic of his family over-shadow his call from God. And because he didnt [his family] chapter has a happy ending. . . . He gave them space, time, and grace. And because he did, they changed. . . . One brother became an apostle (Gal. 1:19) and others became missionaries (1 Cor. 9:5).
