I have been in Venezuela for the past week: one of my many 2nd homes. What a blessing to see the growth of my Christian brothers and sisters here and feel so at home walking the streets of Caracas.
Sometimes family has more to do with the blood of Christ than the blood of heritage. And the beautiful thing is that the closer we grow to Christ and the more we mature in Him, the closer we grow to each other.
On Tuesday night, I had a lengthy and in-depth conversation with some brothers and sisters here who, when I left back in 2007, were baby Christians. As we talked and shared things that God is doing in our lives, I realized and mentioned that we would not have been able to have that conversation several years ago. But now, with how they have grown in their faith and their relationship with Christ, we are now blessed with a new depth to our relationships. What a blessing!
Take a moment today to thank God for your Christian family and the depth of relationship made possible in Him.
