Do I treat my church family better than my paternal family?

I would like to seek your forgiveness to those whom I have left out. Those whom I have not done the above for. Those of whom I have turned a blind eye. Those whom I have shut my ears. I am truly sorry for what I have done. I undertake myself to do the above for all of you. For this is what a family means to me. And I am gonna be the one to do it. I do not expect anything in return. This is my love for the family.

Do I treat the church family better than my paternal family. I honestly answer yes. And its time to do something about it. I shall not shortchange my family of me any longer. I believe my family needs me. I am an integral part of my family. I choose to care for my family. I choose to LOVE my family. I choose to give myself to my family.

I can think of thousand and one reasons why I cannot do it for everybody. I say, I won't try. I'll make it happen. Trying is not worth my time and effort. Cause its just another excuse for myself if I fail. If I fail, its my responsibility to make things right. I wanna go all out for this. I wanna show the people who are lost, those with no families of their own, those with broken homes, those who feel they have no family, I wanna show them what its like. I show them a true agape love.

Yours.
