There are alleged media reports of some cracks in the family of the legendary footballer, David Beckham. His first son, Brooklyn, is reported to have distanced himself from important family events. Some have speculated that David and Victoria have stopped following him on instagram, a position that Cruz, their second son, denied. Here is a takeaway from Cruz’s post: “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son [as reports had suggested]. They woke up blocked….as did I.” If indeed there are some cracks in the family, it all goes to suggest that all families, rich or poor, have their issues. Looking at some lives from a distance may give a picture of flawless perfection. More often than not, such a picture is nothing more than an illusion.

God promised never to leave nor forsake us. As long as we don’t unfollow God, He will never leave us to wander alone.

Of a greater consequence is the word of Cruz, because it carries a message of eternal significance for God’s children. Cruz said that there was not the slightest chance that his parents would unfollow their son. This is a truth borne from scripture that God, the Father, can never unfollow His children. That’s the import of our lead scripture. God promised never to leave nor forsake us. As long as we don’t unfollow God, He will never leave us to wander alone.
