IN TOUCH DEVOTIONAL FOR 31 OCTOBER 2021 SUNDAY

Sunday Reflection: Expanding Your Family

When we encounter someone from a broken family, we should respond with compassion, not judgment.

To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the Scripture referenced throughout.

DR CHARLES STANLEY SUNDAY 31ST OCTOBER 2021

Family can be complicated—we can’t choose the one we’re born into or control how it evolves. So though we hope for the best, not everyone can depend on family for support, and those without it are left vulnerable.

Some believers might be tempted to shame or judge broken families, but our job is not to determine whether a person deserves our compassion—only God is judge (James 4:12). Instead, we are simply to be compassionate and remain humble about our own circumstances. If God’s love is truly in our heart, we can—like the Good Samaritan—move beyond judgments and draw near to fully understand someone’s story (Luke 10:33). Then the love will follow (1 John 4:7).

God’s Word is full of commands to care for widows and orphans because He believes everyone belongs. Let’s watch for people going through life alone—and offer them the love and support of a family.

Think about it

Do you know someone who’s without loved ones or who suffers from loneliness? Consider offering an invitation to join you in a family activity this week—dinner at home, movie night, a walk through the park, or even a trip to the store.

Bible in One Year: John 1-3
