Families have the unique opportunity to personify the love of Christ for each other by loving the way Christ loves us. Sometimes, love is easy. Other times, it is incredibly difficult. ALL the time, it is possible.
God is glorified when siblings submit to the model of LOVE exemplified by the life of Christ. Through
compassion, humility, patience, serving one another
, and
friendship
they can have an eternal influence for good. When we LOVE our brothers and sisters the way God LOVES us, we point them to the Savior.
This book is for parents and children alike. Both need to be reminded of the
compassionate
love Jesus has bestowed upon us. God has purposefully designed the family to illustrate His love both to each other and ultimately to our world.
