Family is love.
getty Each family member possesses unique spiritual gifts.
Spiritual gifts are personality traits that develop with time, and when expressed in your role as a member of a family the impact is an everlasting expression of unconditional love.
What is a spiritual family?
As individuals, we each have our own perspective on what and who is defined as family. We all know the definition of family has several meanings.
We all have biological, adopted, fostered and extended family. Another type of family that is not often talked about is spiritual.
A spiritual family is a network of people who helps you with conflict situations that are based on God and religion.
They will be able to guide and assist you with any issues you have in life but more importantly the issues that have to deal with religion and God as well.
A spiritual family purely depends on the word of God rather than anything else.
They rely on spiritual blessings to live a better life.
Spiritual families are able to fight the demons and evil in the world by referring to God and the bible.
They have moral codes and they focus on the importance of life through the eyes of God.
This is what a spiritual group of people or family does with each other.

Blood and genetics do not always make up a family but the people who love and support you in life is the goal of the family.
