sisters? you mean we're related?

“We are family, I’ve got all my sisters with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah...”  I know you’ve all probably heard the past hit by Sister Sledge. But I’m not just talking about your sisters that you cross paths with everyday. How about you’re sisters who’ve walked the path to the cross? I have a half sister, Brittany, and I absolutely love her to death. She recently said “I do” this past June, and is now happily married to my brother-in-law, Jeremy. Then you have my best friends—Nikki, Lily, Makenzie, Lindsey, Sarah, Kaylynn, and Millie. They’re all like my sisters, too. But I have other sisters. Long lost sisters I can’t wait to meet someday.  Ephesians 2:19 states, “So now you Gentiles (Which is what I am because I’m not Jewish) are longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” So if you’re one-hundred-percent-amen sure you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord, we’re related. That means I have millions of brothers and sisters across the world...awesome isn’t it?  It’s not always easy being a Christian, especially being a teenage girl. You see at school on a daily basis. Alcohol, drugs, sex—everyone’s doing it, right? Wrong. There ARE other Christian girls out there, facing the same situations you are. Proverbs 17:17—A friend loves at all times, and a brother (or sister!) is born for adversity. So when life gets rough, remember to stay tough. And we CAN do it...together.  Because we’re not just average sisters. We’re sisters in the Savior.
