Good morning people. How are you doing? Please can you
read till the end as I broach this very sensitive topic? If you want to lynch
me after reading AND COMPREHENDING my point, please feel free to.
Who came up with "Blood is thicker than water"?
Was an experiment conducted to arrive at this conclusion? Is there a research
report that confirms that the viscosity of every type of water, including swamp
water, as well as every type of blood was included in this research?
If it is really true that blood is thicker than water,
why do we have mothers that betray their children in the worst possible way?
How come Attaliah could comfortably kill her grandchildren? Why are there
fathers/grandfathers that rape their daughters/granddaughters? Why are there
parents that manipulate their children and try to force their own will on the
children? Why are there sisters/cousins that snatch their sister/cousin's
husband? Why are there brothers that seize their dead brother's property and deny
their nephews and nieces of the opportunity to get a good start in life?
I just learnt of a lady that transacted some business
with her sister and COMMANDED the sister to use part of the money that she has
earned to give to their other siblings. I know it's nice to help siblings out
but it shouldn't be by force. I know there is the possibility that the elder
sister has used her position of influence to get her younger sister a contract
that isn't really due to her. Frankly, that is corruption. If that is what's
going on, you need to distance yourself from that sister. She will continue to
play 'god' in your life, telling you who you can associate with and if you're
not careful, you will have marital problems. Please note that I haven't said
that it's always wrong to accept help from family members; just check that the
strings attached are not costing you your soul and joy...
I have personally resolved not to let "Blood is
thicker than water" destroy my life. The attrocities being carried out by
"family" members is mind-boggling. They then turn around and tell
their victim to endure the abuse because "blood is thicker than
water". I just wonder why the fact that "blood is thicker than
water" didn't stop the abuser from perpetuating evil...I don't even want
to recount the horrible stories I've heard about the evil deeds of family
members to their own blood. It is well. I have resolved to know no (wo)man
after the flesh (2 Corinthians 5: 16a). Like Jesus Christ, I say, "For
whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and
mother!" Matthew 12:50
It is great to be loved by your family. Unfortunately,
not everyone is blessed by such family members. If you are dealing with family
members that do not appear to have your best interests at heart, I recommend
that you distance yourself from them and send them your prayers & support
from afar. You can visit them once in a while but you NEED boundaries. Let the
Holy Spirit guide you on how to interact with such family members (you should
let Him guide you in ALL your interactions too).
May the Lord continue to guide and uphold us, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.
Enjoy your day!
