As a Christian social media influencer, I have had the privilege of speaking to many  individuals from across the globe about various aspects of life, and one topic that I get asked about often is family struggles. Struggles within a family unit can range from financial difficulties, communication breakdowns, and differences in opinions and lifestyles. But, I firmly believe that these struggles can actually strengthen relationships within the family if approached from a biblical perspective.First and foremost, it is essential to understand that we all come from different backgrounds and have varying experiences and perspectives. It is in our nature to have disagreements and conflicts, but it is important to approach these situations with love, forgiveness, and understanding. As 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 states, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”In times of conflict, it can be tempting to hold onto grudges and to withdraw from one another, but it is important to remember that our family relationships are a reflection of our relationship with God. As Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” By approaching each other with love and forgiveness, we can work towards mending broken relationships and strengthening our family bonds.Furthermore, it is important to remember that family struggles can provide opportunities for growth and for learning about each other. Through working together to overcome challenges, we can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another. When faced with difficulties, it can be easy to focus on our individual needs, but it is crucial to consider the needs of the entire family unit and to work together towards a solution. Philippians 2:3-4 reminds us, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”In conclusion, family struggles can be challenging, but they can also serve as opportunities to strengthen relationships within the family unit. By approaching conflicts with love, forgiveness, and understanding, we can work towards a stronger, more united family. Let us remember to always put our faith and trust in God, as He will guide us through every challenge we may face.
