Family Influence

Because of his love he had already decided to adopt us through Jesus Christ. He freely chose to do this.Ephesians 1:5

Our family of origin has an influence on who we are today. Some of us want to pretend that our families are nearly perfect. Other may want to avoid responsibility for our actions by blaming our family. When we think about our lives we need to deal with the influence that our family had on us. As we do we have a right to hold them responsibile for their part in our current circumstances. It is part of the picture of who we are now.

However, it is our responsibility to take the steps we need to move us from where we are now to where God wants us to be. A better place for us and our family.
