“And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.’” Luke 15:26-29 (ESV)
Families can be rough places. The line between love and hate seems so thin, and sometimes the silliest things fuel jealousy, anger, and bitterness.
The wise see their lives as something that should be used to make others successful. Children should often be reminded that all they have is a gift, and if they ever begin to focus on what they deserve, they might get it. If that happens, they again will cry for and appreciate mercy and grace.
Families are a great gift from God. Therefore, Satan focuses his attacks on the family because they are the cornerstone of society. We need to focus on the family because it is the cornerstone of society.
