PART OF HIS FAMILY

 

PART OF HIS FAMILY

Do you know that

You are JESUS' BROTHER

Or sister? Do you know

That we are all brothers

And sisters in Christ?

We are PART

OF HIS FAMILY=and our holy God

Is our DEAR FATHER

“My mother and my BROTHERS

Are those

Who HEAR the word of God

And act on it” Luke 8:21

What a PRIVILEGE it is

For us to be CHOSEN

As PART of HIS FAMILY=

What greater GIFT could

Our Holy Father God

Ever give to us

Jesus tells us that

BELONGING to the family

Is NOT a matter

Of common physical characteristics=

But SHARING

COMMON spiritual characteristics=

It is all UP TO US

To choose to FOLLOW

The Word of God

The word of Jesus

This is what

Makes us FULLY ONE

With him=

Makes us=ONE WITH Jesus

Makes us

PART OF THE FAMILY

Jesus said=”COME FOLLOW ME”=

And be a part

Of MY FAMILY=be my

Brother or my sister

“A friend

Loves at all times

And a BROTHER is born

For times of adversity” Proverbs 17:17

“One who has

Unreliable friends

Soon come to ruin

But there is a friend

That sticks closer

Than a BROTHER” Proverbs 18:24

And that BROTHER=that person

Is JESUS=

We are a PART

OF HIS FAMILY

When we imitate Jesus=

When we become

MORE like him=

We become an even BIGGER

PART of his family

That is what our lives

Are MEANT to BE

A sharing of JOY IN JESUS CHRIST

Jesus freely OFFERS US

A chance to LOVE HIM=it is our CHOICE

To love him or not

Our choice=to be

A PART OF HIS FAMILY

“He must manage

HIS OWN FAMILY well=

And see that his children

Obey him

And he must do so

In a manner worthy

Of full respect” 1 Timothy 3:4

Today=this day=

This MORNING=would be a

GOOD TIME to ask

The Holy Father if

We have ACCEPTED the

TREMENDOUS GIFT of Christ Jesus

Are we imitating him?

Are we loving him?

Are we LIVING as part

Of Christ Jesus' FAMILY?

In the name of our BROTHER Jesus=and our HOLY GOD THE FATHER
