“Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” – Mark 3:35
During a mandatory evacuation, a woman notices her elderly neighbor struggling to pack essentials. Though anxious to find her own family, she stays, helps secure his home, and escorts him onto transport. At the shelter, officials announce that those who aided others will be housed together, treated as one family for care and support during the crisis.
Jesus declares that true belonging is shaped not by proximity but by obedience to God’s will. Like the woman who paused her own escape to care for another, discipleship is revealed through costly love. David danced before the ark because God’s presence reorders priorities. Psalm 24 urges us to open our lives to the King of Glory. Angela Merici formed communities where faith expressed itself through attentive service. In Christ, those who choose compassion over self-preservation discover a deeper family. Obedience gathers strangers into communion and makes room for grace. This is the quiet revolution Jesus inaugurates wherever willing hearts respond without hesitation. Today, listen for where love interrupts your plans. Step into that call with trust, and you will find yourself welcomed into Christ’s household, strengthened by shared care, mercy, and joy together.
