My family, My Idol

Some of us have had to do the same. Please read, very encouraging:

"God created us to worship. It’s how we’re made. So when we’re not properly worshiping Him, our hearts are quickly drawn to a cheap replacement. For me, that has been my family. Which is rather confusing since family in itself is a good thing. But it can easily take the form of idolatry when I choose family over Jesus. Let me explain.

As a single woman, I have held my family above Christ by refusing to speak truth at the risk of disrupting my family’s so-called peace or potentially losing relationship with them altogether. I knew God was calling me to bring into the light past family sin that had never been discussed since it occurred 27 years ago. I could see how it could be used to show them God’s grace by coming to them in truth and forgiveness. And although there was great possibility to see lives transformed, I sinned against God by instead choosing my family and my own comfort because the risk was too high."
