Take care of the family God has given you.

Part of me waited to feel like I had a "family" because it wouldn't feel official until my husband and I had a child of our own. I'm learning to feel blessed with the family God has given me in this season of my life, and take care of them how I would take care of my familial ideal.

My husband and I recently moved into a new home, and my sister in law and her husband are renting the spare room from us. Since we've all moved in together I've learned how much I enjoy taking care of everyone, from cooking, to cleaning, to encouraging their ambitions. I never expected this to be the case, but God has truly opened my eyes to how a Christian woman can be a homemaker even when she has no children.

This might look different for you. Perhaps you an adult daughter still living with her parents and siblings. Take care of them. Perhaps you are a college student with roommates. Take care of them. Perhaps you live alone in an apartment complex, but have many elderly neighbors on your floor. Invite them to dinner, and take care of them.

God is faithful to lead us to a community, but sometimes we get distracted by the fact that it isn't the ideal we see for ourselves, and overlook our ability to serve and love them nonetheless. I've been thinking a lot about how I would feel if I found out we would never be able to have kids — and whether I could be happy homemaking for a family that didn't consist of my children.

I think I could, but this realization has come only through God opening my eyes to the fact that we are all His children, brothers and sisters in Christ — family by default, and all responsible to serve one another.

Dear God, thank You that I can cast my burdens over on You because You care for me. I release every fear, worry, and every weight that I carry into Your loving hands. Fill me up with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and strengthen me today. In Jesus Name, amen. 🙏

Why yes, I did immediately redraw the one from last week. The design and composition here was what I was originally going to do, but then that didn't happen. So now I have drawn it as it was supposed to be.

I had a coworker say to me today that he's a bad Christian because he hasn't read the Bible all the way through, and that is a ridiculous thought

Was Stephen, the first Christian martyr, a bad Christian because he died before the New Testament was written and never read the Bible all the way through? No.

Are Christians who are illiterate bad Christians because they haven't read the Bible? No.

Are Christians who don't yet have the Bible in their heart language and are unable to truly understand it or even read it bad Christians? No.

Yes, reading the BIble is a good thing. Yes, being able to read the Word of God is a wonderful privilege that we have. But your status as a Christian is not dependent on how many times you've read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. (That would be a works based religion.) Your status as a Christian is based on the Holy Spirit living within you and your being transformed by Him.

So read your Bible, but don't feel that your worth as a Christian comes from doing so.
