Maybe becoming a spiritually healthy family is not about becoming a perfect family but rather following a perfect God together. And in doing so, to find peace with Him, our pasts, and our family members.

About This Quote

To find peace with God, our pasts, and our family members. Many people think that to be a spiritually healthy family, that we must be perfect. That we must not make mistakes or do anything that might hurt or offend others. That we must not hurt each other.

However, the Bible does not say that it is wrong to hurt each other. It says “love” (1 Corinthians 13:4). We should always love each other; however, it is okay to disagree.

The Bible commands us to forgive (Colossians 3:13). The Bible does not say forget what has happened in the past; it only says to forgive (Ephesians 4:32).
