Stop Trying to Fix Everybody in Your Family

Have you ever had someone in your family you desperately wanted to change?When we love someone, it's difficult to watch them make decisions we believe are hurting them. We may speak truth, offer advice, send Scripture and keep having the same conversations, but eventually we have to recognize the difference between what God has given us responsibility for and what we simply cannot control.In this episode, Raymond uses Romans 12:18—“If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”—to help us think through difficult family relationships.What depends on you? Your words, attitude, forgiveness, apologies and sometimes the boundaries you establish. What doesn't depend on you? Another person's response, repentance or choices.We can faithfully love the people in our families without trying to do the work that belongs to God.Continue the Start at Home series:https://www.discipleblueprint.com/startathomeIf this episode helped you think differently about a difficult relationship, please like it, share it with someone who may need it, and follow the Disciple Blueprint Podcast on your favorite podcast platform.
