Redeemed From The Curse

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."  Galatians 3:3

Every family can probably name something that seems to get handed down from generation to generation.  We laugh about it sometimes or make jokes...the hairline of the men in the family or some physical feature that all the women seem to get (or don't get).  Often, there are more significant genetic traits that are nothing to laugh about.

In our family, many of us are worriers or struggle with anxiety.  I'm now seeing it in the next generation too.  Depression too has been battled by a few family members, myself included.  Not exactly a legacy you want to hand down to your children.  At times, it can seem like a family "curse".  No one really talks about it but you know it when you see it.

Knowing that God can break that curse if we do the work and persevere is reassuring.  Breaking the cycle is important.  Each generation wants the next generation to be healthier, happier and more prosperous. 

"Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.  We are blessed, and we cannot be cursed." 

Amen.

Have an uplifting Best Life Day!
