“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:37-39‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because God loves families. I can’t imagine He would ever do anything to hurt a family unit, but He knows we are tempted to consider our family’s welfare, friends welfare or our welfare over obeying Him. He knows that is where true trust comes in like Abraham and Isaac. Please pray that we and our friends put God above every relationship and trust Him for the outcomes. Please pray for Robert and Jim’s group.
