One tiny fragile little wrist was tied to a rusty old bedpost with an electric cord. Her body was covered with bruises and her lips were bleeding from being recently battered by her mother’s hand.
This was what the police found when they entered the house and saw Mary Beth’s naked little body trembling in the darkened room.
As they carried her out past her mother and their eyes met the little girl cried out, “Mommy, if I die, then will you love me?”
The little girls’ greatest pain was that she felt she was not loved.
It is most unlikely that if you are a parent you physically abuse your children or your husband or wife but too many do emotionally abuse them with bickering, taking nagging to a new level, finding fault on a regular basis.
To a child, “You are a bad kid…a dumb kid…you are driving me crazy…”
To a wife, “How could you have said that…done that…you are so sloppy…you are driving me crazy….you… To a husband, “Why do always have to…why don’t you…you are a failure…you are driving me crazy…you…
It is a terrible thing if your child or husband or wife often think “Would you finally love me if I died?”
A home can be a heaven or a hell. It can be the loneliest place in the world or a place where it seems the sound of music fills every heart and head.
This is what love does, expressed by word and deed; by patient concern, by an absence of pouting and a presence of powerful prayers, for new ways to show love one to the other.
By just being nice rather than nasty…loving rather than loveless…
What have you promised yourself that you will do or become to better show how much you love your family? How often have you kept these promises or broken them because you were too busy or too impatient or….
Initiate a positive imitation policy.
Be loving and kind and good to others in your family and you may well set up a chain reaction. Do the opposite; be hateful and cruel and no good to others in your family and you may well set up that kind of chain reaction also.

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:7)
