Read<\/span><\/h2>\n
1 John 4:11-12<\/cite> Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Learn<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the story of God\u2019s Creation, family was the last and best thing that God made!<\/span><\/p>\n

God made Adam and Eve and said they were \u201cvery good\u201d. God married Adam and Eve to show the world the faithful love between Jesus and His people. Jesus is like the Bridegroom and the people in His Church are His Bride.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A family is designed by God to be a safe place for children to experience God\u2019s love through the parents. It is also the place where children learn how to care for their family and for other people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But not all families are like this. Some families quarrel often. How do we love one another so that other people can see God?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible says God showed His love by sending His Son to die for our sins so that we may have everlasting life. Did you notice God <\/span>gave<\/span><\/i> His Son? Love starts with giving, not taking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you let go of what you want and give in during a quarrel? It is difficult, but Jesus came so that you can learn to love like Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s love our parents, brothers and sisters in the family so that the world can see the love of our heavenly Father. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
