Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
Matthew 12:48-50 (NLT)
I’m fortunate to have a loving family. Still I can find myself isolated and lonely. Thankfully, not only do I have a Father in heaven, Jesus calls me his sister. Add in all my Christian brothers and sisters, and I will always have someone to talk to.
Jesus,
I am adopted in.
I am surrounded with family.
Help me to be a good sister,
A good mother,
To my extended family,
By doing the will of our Father.
Amen
