“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.” John 3:16-17
Carrie and Don were constantly fighting. Eventually, Don could handle it no more. He left Carrie for a younger woman. She was left to rear her teenage son alone. To make matters worse, the boy ran away. Carrie’s whole life had fallen apart and she wondered what she had done wrong. Friend, there’s a spiritual battle being waged over your home too. It is very real and the stakes are very high. Carrie realized that – so she prayed. She applied Godly patience and love when she spoke to her son and husband. She knew it would take time and pastoral counseling to finally see victory. And she has! Years later, her son now serves in ministry.
Friend, pray daily for your family. Seek God’s guidance in His Word. God will be with you in this battle and He, through you, will win!
