Your True Family by Max Lucado • July 15 Look how Jesus defined his family in Mark 3:35. “My true brother and sister and mother are those who do what God wants.” When Jesus’ family did not share His convictions, He didn’t try to force them. He recognized that His spiritual family could provide what His physical family did not. If Jesus Himself couldn’t force His family to share His convictions, what makes you think you can force yours? If your father is a jerk, you could be the world’s best daughter and he still won’t tell you so. As long as you think you can control people’s behavior toward you, you’re held in bondage by their opinions. It’s a game with unfair rules and fatal finishes. Jesus didn’t play it, nor should you. Let God give you what your earthly family doesn’t. If your earthly father does not affirm you, then let your heavenly Father take His place! Let God be the family you need. from He Still Moves Stones
