Family

Why is it harder to show Christ's love to the people you love the most? Why is it so easy to put on a smile and be super nice and serve your friends and acquaintances, but it is so hard to do the same to your family? I know this is probably my number one struggle in life. As much as my heart wants to be the perfect daughter to my parents and a role model to my siblings, my actions don't follow through.  

"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it." Romans 7:15-20

 I don't want to hurt the people that are closest to me and love me the most any longer. I NEED God's help to overcome my sinful nature. Please Lord help me to be able to see my family as you see them, to love them as you love them, and to treat them like you would treat them. Thank you for never giving up on me, as many times as I have given up on myself. Please help me to be a better daughter and sister to my family :) Amen.


 Are we too far apart?
Two worlds among the stars
You’re gonna take a piece of my heart if you leave
So its two separate ways
Or am I too late to say “I wanna fight for what we got
Cause I believe in family”
In family, in family
