Listen to this articleWe are part of a global community of believers who are united in our faith and our love for God. While we may come from different backgrounds and circumstances, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, and we are called to support and encourage one another as we journey together towards eternal life.
For some of us, this journey may be particularly challenging because we do not have a close family to support us. Maybe we have lost touch with our family members, or maybe we never had a close family to begin with. Whatever the reason, it can be difficult to navigate the ups and downs of life without the love and support of a family.
But even in the midst of this challenge, we can find hope and encouragement in the words of Jesus: “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” (Matthew 12:50). When we put God first in our lives and strive to follow His will, we become part of a larger family – the family of God. And as members of this family, we have the love, support, and encouragement of our heavenly Father, as well as the fellowship and friendship of our fellow believers.
So if you are struggling with not having a close family, remember that you are not alone. You have a loving Father in heaven who is always with you, and you have a community of believers who are here to support and encourage you. Lean on God and your brothers and sisters in Christ for strength and guidance as you navigate the journey of life, and trust that He will provide for all of your needs.
May God bless you and keep you, and may you feel the love and support of your heavenly Father and your fellow believers.
