Daily Inspiration

“While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him. Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you.” But he said in reply to the one who told him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother.” -Matthew 12:46-50
 
Christ gives us the opportunity to be His family, mother, brother, or sister, but His offer is conditional. We must first honor the will of the Father. 
 
Thankfully, this is an open invitation to us. Even if we have faltered in the past, there is no need for worry; there is still time for us to change. As we embrace the will of the Father in our lives, we cast off the distractions of the enemy and are warmly welcomed into the family of Our Lord Jesus.
