They are my family too, even so I look forward to their ordeal that they might "know me".

There is no greater love except a man lay down his life for a new life in the Spirit. First there will be bitter struggles in families and misunderstandings and stumbling to find YOU, my life. But if a man loves his children he will hate them for the truth's sake and go and find the spirit in his own loneliness and humiliation that "through the Spirit" they (his children) might be saved. "For You are able, my life" They will hate him, not knowing the true intentions of his heart. If a man does not love his children enough to leave that he might find the Spirit than he does not deserve to enter into the kingdom.

The humiliation of understanding the least on this planet is to be changed and be seen as a criminal, an outcast, rejected by society placed in the group of theives. Then You find that the world that judged You does not know the "intentions of the heart" of the least of them. This is the path to knowing the heart of God.
