 <\/p>\n

For human beings, having a haven<\/strong>\u2014a place of belonging, acceptance, nurturing, and protection<\/strong>, surrounded by those who love and cherish you<\/strong>\u2014is essential and indispensable.<\/big><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

God\u2019s Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n

God<\/strong>\u2014existing eternally in relationship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit<\/strong>\u2014declared, \u201cIt is not good for the man to be alone\u2026\u201d<\/strong> (Genesis 2:18).<\/span> From the beginning, He designed human beings to live in community<\/strong>, not isolation. Even our Lord Jesus<\/strong> shared His earthly ministry in close fellowship<\/strong> with His disciples. The Lord knows how vital it is to belong to a united, loving, and nurturing family of faith<\/strong> that honors Him.

The Family Under Attack<\/strong><\/h4>\n

However, the family has been under attack<\/strong> in current times more than in centuries past. Many return to a home broken by arguments, betrayals, separation, addictions, and abuse<\/strong>. Even envy<\/strong> has affected families, causing division and hatred<\/strong> among siblings and those who were supposed to support each other.
\n <\/p>\n

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head\u2026<\/strong> (Psalm 133:1-2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026 To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness\u2026<\/strong> (Isaiah 61:3)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 
\n <\/p>\n

What Has Caused You Mourning and Heaviness?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u2022 A son or daughter incarcerated<\/strong>
\n\u2022 A child, parent, or spouse lost to drug addiction<\/strong>
\n\u2022 A marriage<\/strong> haunted by lies and betrayals<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Rejection<\/strong> from your children
\n\u2022 Envy<\/strong> from your siblings
\n\u2022 Your family is far from God<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Any family issue taking away your peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps what has caused you mourning has been loneliness<\/strong>. You have no family, no friends<\/strong>, and have thought that no one cared<\/strong> whether you lived or died.<\/p>\n

That is not true!<\/strong> The Lord Jesus gave His life for you<\/strong>, and this family of faith waits for you<\/strong> with open arms. God <\/strong>has the desire and power<\/strong> to transform<\/strong> your life.<\/p>\n
