Towards re-connection!

Malachi 4
5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."
NKJV

One of the most terrible problems in the world today comes about when hearts are broken in the home, and when this causes the hearts of parents and children to disconnect.
So how is your relationship with YOUR parents?

Is your heart turned towards them or away from them?
How is your relationship with YOUR children?
Is your heart turned towards them or away from them?

It is noteworthy that nowhere in these verses from the Prophet Malachi, does God command that the hearts of parents and children be connected.

God simply tells us what will happen if we do not diligently attend to that connexion.
So if there has been a disconnect in your family between the generations, it is time to begin praying that the hearts involved be healed.

Sometimes that means also making an effort to mend the relationships.
Sometimes it may mean loving the others from far, because the relationship cannot be put right for whatever reason.

But we must make the effort, for the sake of the healing of our own heart.
