🔸️ We must take efforts to build a Family! 🔸️

Verses of Proverbs 24: 30-32 explain the warning of how our garden can be turned into a desert. "I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw". You see, if you don't pay attention to the garden, the garden will turn into bad condition. As you cross the street, you may have seen a lush garden near one's house and another a thorny bush near your home.

A beautiful garden can not automatically be formed. The man in the house cultivated and weeded his garden…. thus he might took much efforts.

How did you find the thorny bushes in another man's house? Is the man in that house sowed thorns and shrubs? No, it has automatically changed into desert. Yes, you need not do anything to create a deserted life! But if you want your garden to be "spring oasis", you must put efforts for it!!

The marriage life is like this. We could see one's marital life as like the spring oasis and another's marital life as like the desert. In the garden of the spring oasis (the family), the husband and wife would certainly have worked together and guarded the garden with utmost care. In contrast, what should you do to make your marital relationship a desert? You the husband and wife don't have to scream at each other... 

If you do nothing, your family relationship will turn into a desert!

 Prayer:

Heavenly Father! Thank you for showing the “family” as a cultivated and thriving garden! We dedicate ourselves to work for our family to become a fruitful garden. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
