Family

Each of my sons and daughters are the carriers of my sweet, sweet presence. Like the bee flitting from flower to flower to collect the pollen, and return to the hive, where it is transformed into the sweetest honey, to be eaten by the whole family.

You are called to carry my sweetness to the nations, to watch it transform the lives of the hungry.

You are my voice in the wilderness, my whisper upon the wind, sent out to bring the weary traveller home into the heart of my family.

(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 10-11

How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

(NIV) Romans 10: 17-18

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”

(NIV) Hebrews 2: 10-12

In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”
