Why do we trust strangers more than family?


Mark 3:31-35-We get blinded by the scriptures because "Jesus said!" so we don't look deeper into what he meant! Family members brand you and refuse to let go of that image even when you may have rebranded yourself or actually never saw yourself as they did. Possessive attitudes of families! Then later the shame that they have been blind to their bloods strengths.

We cry today that we don't have whom to turn to in hard moments, yet don't stop to think whose hand did we hold in support when they needed it. We often tell our family member that their idea is crazy, yet fail to see that our vision was limited by our unwillingness to admit we are ashamed for what we had done to them, and angry they didn't fight back the stereotyping! Hold your family member, so that you have someone to relay on in times of need, even if its just for the joy of it!

When you make your child look at you as a punisher, when parents use siblings for their own selfish need, why do they expect you to come to them for help? Where a stranger succeeds know that the family pushed away! We are losing our kids not to the streets, but to homes where support has been replaced by the families abuse of ones right to individuality and the experience of life "necessary mistakes for growth"!

We are having psyches on the street today, and those are kids that were abused within their homes and they take it out on the social environment because they couldn't be heard in their homes!
Why would boys need to carry guns? Why would girls need to sleep with different men for validation? We all say its waywardness but who gave them a sense of worth? We are turning on ourselves by pushing blame on others! Africa is getting to the state of total family disintegration like in supposedly civilised countries. Hold your son, mum, dad, uncles, cousins strong not defensive!

What profits a man to gain the world and loose his soul? We are all seeking recognition when what we should be doing is being relevant!

Love yall!
