BUILDING A FAMILY GOD`S WAY



By Stella Dhinakaran

Dearly beloved,

The Lord loves to build families. Saying that "It is not good for the man to be alone,” He gave Eve as a companion to Adam, the early man (Genesis 2:18). Accordingly, even today, He Himself unites a husband and wife. Apart from this, He also builds a house – family – for them. Further, He gives them children and increases the family. All these are the biggest blessings from God.

A son or a daughter who is in the marriageable age should hold on to the Lord with the careful thought, “I too should receive such blessings in my life; the Lord Himself should build my house.” These days, many youth choose their life partner as they like, without discerning whether he/she is pleasing to the Lord? Will my house be built by him/her?”

My dear young children! Please be careful in this matter. The Bible says, “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth (Ecclesiastes 12:1). God looks at our hearts. The only thing you need to do is to surrender yourself completely to Him. Guard your heart and eyes. Do not fall into the devil’s snare. Choose the right way of life so that you can receive the blessings of the Lord and be united with Him and live a pleasant life.

The Bible says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1). Build your family on Christ the Rock. Then your home will remain strong and unshaken in all situations.
