Title Receive each other

Hymn: 350 (New Hymn No. 320) 'Cleanse my sins'
Meditation: In order to share life together, we must accept each other. Let's think together about what areas in the home we need to accept each other and how we should accept each other.
Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: “Receive one another as Christ also received us to the glory of God” (Romans 15:1-7).
To accept each other means to accept and understand each other. When we receive from each other, amazing power comes out. When we receive each other, the things God wants to accomplish will be revealed. This is the wonderful reason God established the family.
We are obsessed with earning respect from others. However, I live my life not thinking too much about the need to respect others. The principle of the Word is that if we respect others, we will be respected.
‘Honor your parents,’ ‘Honor your elders,’ ‘Honor God, your wife and husband,’ ‘Do not provoke your children,’ ‘Obey your master’, etc. It means to be considerate of people. We have an innate need to be respected. When those needs are not met, we engage in destructive behavior. Trying to ignore or knock down opponents. But when we care for each other and make us happy, amazing family power springs up.
Jesus did not come to this earth to please Himself. You are here to please me and you.
And to receive each other is what I hope for. People who live in God do not feel miserable and suffer through others, but rather have hope and dreams. We need to see and learn what the Bible trains and says in our lives. 70% of people who marry marry people who are opposites. The difference is attractive at first, but it can become difficult as you go through life. However, if you accept it well and make it, your marriage will become truly beautiful.
Prayer: May my family's joy be in serving and giving rather than receiving and enjoying. When I accept and accept, may the home overflow with new joy and victory. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
