1 Corinthians 4:15
"For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet ye have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel."

All day long yesterday I thought about my Dad. I thought about his death. I thought about my mom who is still alive, and wanted to call her. The day got away from me and our work kept us busy until after her bedtime. I knew at that moment when I looked at the clock it was too late to call her. Why did I want to call her? She would understand. She loved Daddy too. It's amazing how when you love someone, and someone else loves them too, that you are connected. What is that connection? Love. The love of a father. That's what truly connects us all.
The connection that is shared between brothers and sisters that accept Daddy God as their Father, experience a relationship that goes beyond flesh and blood. Many that belong to the same church consider one another more family than their own biological family. They seem to understand one another at a deeper level. They work out of the same book. They make decisions based on the same principles.
ACTION STEP: If you are lonely and perhaps feeling as though you don't belong to anyone or have any family, remember this--when you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior you become a child of God. Jesus becomes your brother. You now have a family that will be your family all through eternity.
Most of you reading this Blog are part of the family. If perhaps you've not made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior it's very simple. Romans 10:9-10 tells us "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."
Remember, I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself.
