The Family of Christ

Mark 3:35"For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."

In this scripture, Christ tenderly promises that those who follow Him will be a part of His family. I really love this idea because sometimes when I feel alone, lonely, frustrated, or overwhelmed, all I really long for is an embrace from a family member, someone to hold and rock me as I cry or scream. Sometimes, and especially lately, it is common for me to feel this way and there is nobody to embrace me. I would like to testify that I have put this in practice and when nobody else was there to comfort me and I cried out, Christ came and surrounded me with His love. I know that He felt what I was feeling, and was crying with me. It felt so natural, just like my father, older brother, or husband would do, and yet it was Christ. I felt Him, I knew it was Him, and I was comforted, and given the strength to carry on and push forward in the daily hum-drum of life.
