What could be more precious than family love?
What could have more of an influence on generations unborn than family love?
But it can be hard to find family love on a day when the kids are cranky, finances are upside down and everything is going wrong.
True family love is a gift from God, shared for his glory…
So what does God have to say about family love?
Read the 19 Bible verses below…
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
We love because he first loved us.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”

And you shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house…
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,

Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind…
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
And so train the young women to love their husbands and children,
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
