When your family expects access because they are family

Psalm 68:6

God sees loneliness and places people in family.

When your family expects access because they are family. 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, I do not want an old pattern making today's decision for me. Renew my mind, steady my emotions, and lead me in truth. You are Lord here too. Amen.
