FamilyLife Blended® con Ron L. Deal

So, are we family or are we not?

God is relational and we, as his image-bearers, also, have a deep need for connection. So when a child can’t win a parent’s approval, a spouse feels unimportant to their partner, or when a stepcouple feels like their family isn’t coming together; anxiety and fear set in. Essentially they are asking, “Am I important to you or not?” and that question adds to what gets in the way of finding connection. It’s much better to act out of your love for them than worry about their love for you.
