🧍Family🧍‍♀️

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.

Colossians 1:1 (KJV) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

Paul calls Timothy his brother. If you were to take the time to run the blood line you would find that Paul is no kin at all to Timothy. If that being so, why would Paul call Timothy his brother? Webster says this about Brother “A human male born of the same father and mother.” Or as my Pastor said “one born of the same womb. I’ll not get deep into this but after I ask the Lord to come into my heart my want too’s changed. Then I noticed other Christians started calling me brother Wayne. That was new to me but all they were saying was that I was born into the same family. Then I had a Pastor named Ray Hill who called everyone Doc. I like that better and somehow that caught on and I started calling others Doc too. If you noticed Paul said “our brother.” God has a big family and I’m glad to be in it. I may not be called brother or Doc but I’m still in the family of God. Paul then clarifies what he means in Colossians 1:2 (KJV) To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. To the saints and faithful brethren from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul calls them brethren and they understood what he meant “brethren in Christ.”
