Peace in the family
Was fellowshipping with a brother and all he wants in his family was that "Peace" be restored back. That remind me of the Lord asking the saints in Ephesian to restore back their first love to HIM. and HE has taught how to recover this first love:Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works,........
Well, you may ask me if Peace and Love come together, right?
I would think so. If you love your family, you would not bring "war" into your loved one. You would love them, cherish them & nourish them and not "hurt" them.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives........,
Eph 5:28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
Eph 5:29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
Eph 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
Many a times, we tend to point finger at others for causing the "war" at home, especially to our wife. But being the head of the family, we are the one that pilot our ship, we are the one that have to "rule" our own house.
And if you are having "war" in your family right now, and if you are desire to restore back to "peace" in your family, you have to know why, when, and where you fall, why your family have come to this situation and most of all, you have to ask the Lord to grant both of you to control your anger, more patience, have an open heart and a pair of listening ears when both of you sit down and fellowship.
May we ask the Lord to give all of us a heart of flesh full of LOVE, PEACE & JOY. Be Blessed!
