Our inability to function in healthy family love is the greatest reason God's grace is not more powerfully at work in our midst. When siblings fight for position over each other and squabble over scraps they grieve Abba's Spirit and violate His foremost command to “Love one another!” Seeking power and control always subordinates others and usurps God's commandment. Understand this, you can fast and pray for forty day's, worship the Lord 24/7 with exstravagant praise, yet if you neglect to love your brother or sister, it is all for nothing. We do all kinds of spiritual stuff, thinking we're doing much for God. But, if we do not love in deed and truth, then we have failed to obey the foremost command, we have been unfaithful with little, presuming to move on to the much.
