Leaving A Legacy - 9781544281667

It's very important to know that family is the strongest unit in the Universe. There are two essential elements of family; marriage and parenthood. These two reveal God's character like nothing else in creation. The love that is experienced between a man and a woman displays Christ's passionate devotion to us as His bride. In the same way as we experience the ups and downs of parenthood, God's tenderness and patience toward us as His children, is admired in a powerful and irresistible way. However, family does more than just reflect God's character. It also provides a safe place, where children can experience God's love through their parents, while learning how to love other people. Even Christ, Himself, was born within the context of family; God in the flesh, submitted to an earthly mother and father to model what it means to honor parents, and to benefit from their loving direction. It was within the nurturing care of His earthly family, that He grew in wisdom and stature, and in the favor of God and men. Therefore, count it not strange that you were placed in your particular family, and it does not matter if you are from the family of Johns or another... you need to know that what reveals the most about God than anything else, is when He made something called "Family."
