God's Promise to Redeem our Families

Redemption can start with us, and it can spread in every direction.

My family is a perfect example right now that God is indeed faithful and that our efforts to seek Him are never in vain. I choose to stand for Him, come what may. That's all He asks in the entire chapter I read today (Deuteronomy 30), and compared to the volume of promises He makes in it, giving Him that honor that He is already due is more than reasonable (see Romans 12 for reference).

Breaking Generational Cycles

I read this post today, and I found it really encouraging. I'm realizing that sometimes God sends us through trials not just because we were the ones to do something wrong, but because He wants to break down something that's way bigger than us. We have a part in it, for sure, but it's not just us being losers out in left field. It's the opposite: it's God saying that He believes we're strong enough to stand in the gap and that this pain cycle can stop with us, and He's all about making it happen through us. It's Him saying that He will give us the strength and that He's found us faithful. Please take a minute to read this and see if God has something in it for you.
