Los enemigos del hombre serán personas de su propia casa (Mat. 10:36).
Si aguantar los ataques frontales contra el pueblo de Dios es difícil, no lo es menos soportar la oposición de la familia inmediata o de parientes cercanos. Pero ¿acaso no había predicho Jesús este enfrentamiento? Claro que sí, y muchos hermanos han constatado lo ciertas que son sus palabras (Mat. 10:35). Algunos adolescentes han sufrido la hostilidad de padres que no comparten su fe. A veces hasta han sido echados de su casa y han tenido que hospedarse con Testigos bondadosos. Otros hermanos han llegado a ser repudiados por su familia. ¿Cómo han podido aguantar estas injusticias? Por amor a la hermandad y, sobre todas las cosas, a Jehová y su Hijo (1 Ped. 1:22; 1 Juan 4:21). Hay muchas otras situaciones en las que se requiere el amor que todo lo soporta. Por ejemplo, es necesario en la vida matrimonial. Si ambos esposos se visten de dicha cualidad, estarán mejor preparados para seguir juntos y conservar intacta su unión (Col. 3:14).

A man’s enemies will be persons of his own household.—Matt. 10:36.
Frontal assaults against God’s people in general are one thing. When opposition comes upon individual Christians from family members, it is quite different. Did not Jesus foretell that this would take place? Yes, and many have experienced the truthfulness of his words. (Matt. 10:35) Teenagers have endured opposition from unbelieving parents. Some have even been ordered out of the home, but they were taken in by kindly Witnesses. Others have been disowned. What enabled such ones to endure mistreatment? Not just their love for the brotherhood but, above all, their genuine love for Jehovah and his Son. (1 Pet. 1:22; 1 John 4:21) There are many other situations in life that call for the love that endures all things. Within the marriage union, a husband and wife clothed with this quality are fortified to stick to each other and keep their marriage intact.—Col. 3:14.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
