When you love your family and still need distance

2 Timothy 1:5

Faith can travel through generations, and so can a new pattern.

When you love your family and still need distance. This is where faith gets practical. Pay attention to the sentence your mind writes next. Is it telling you that you are unwanted, unsafe, behind, foolish, trapped, or forgotten? That sentence matters because repeated thoughts eventually start sounding like facts. Family history explains some things, but it does not get to prophesy your future. Jesus Christ can interrupt what has repeated for generations. One honest decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ can be the beginning of a completely different pattern.

What would you advise someone you love to do if they were standing where you are?

Jesus Christ, show me what is true in this situation and expose the story I have added to it. Give me wisdom for my part, courage to obey You, and enough trust to leave the outcome in Your hands. Amen.
