Just admit it. There's no such thing as the "perfect family." Not even close. Every family comes with its fair share of brokenness, pain and dysfunction. Even the so-called "heroes" we read about in the Bible. The great news is that God isn't looking for perfection.
In fact, what if the pain, brokenness and weakness in your family are really the point at which God can meet you with extravagant grace that leads from despair, to hope, to lasting change? What if what Jesus accomplished on the cross is really sufficient to meet your family's deepest needs and heal your family's most profound hurts?
Lewis Smedes once wrote: "We are ready for grace when we are bone tired of our struggle to be worthy and acceptable. After we have tried too long to earn the approval of everyone important to us, we are ready for grace. When we are tired of trying to be the person somebody sometime convinced us we had to be, we are ready for grace. When we have given up all hope of ever being an acceptable human being, we may hear in our hearts the ultimate reassurance: we are accepted, accepted by grace."
Are you bone tired of trying to live up to somebody's expectations for you or your family? Are ready to experience grace?
