Do we spend time in prayer listening for what our Father wants for us? Do we shut our ears when the task seems daunting, exhausting or even appears impossible?
Do we truly understand what it means to be part of God’s family? Do we love and respect our fathers, mothers and siblings in Christ? Do we genuinely care for them? Do we realise to be in God’s family means love and sacrifice on our part?
God’s family is where I and want to belong!
Let us pray…
Lord Jesus, in our weakness we often fall prey to our own wants and desires. Help us with your strength, teach us authentic love for our brothers and sisters. We ask this in Your precious name. Amen
GOSPEL Mark 3:31–35
The mother of Jesus and his brothers arrived at the house. Standing outside, they sent word to Jesus and called him. A crowd seated around him told him, “Your mother and your brothers and your sisters are outside asking for you.” But he said to them in reply, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
