Fight for your relationships. It takes work.
ALWAYS REAL:
Friends, as Dan is sharing today, I am reminded that when Jesus shared what was most important to God, Loving God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself, the enemy knew what we would battle with the most. Some of my most intimate relationships have almost fallen apart, actually, some of them have fallen apart in the past. I want to share just a few words of wisdom that I SO hope will help you in the future.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING we can do in our lives is to build a deep and strong relationship with God and to work on having deep and meaningful relationships with others. When the relationships that are most important in your life start to fall apart, you have to look to God first.
Pray for the relationship to be restored. Look at yourself and ask God to reveal what you need to know in order to restore that relationship.
We can’t control how the other person will respond. What we can control though is this… How can you truly love this person you care so deeply about. Fight for the relationship! It takes work!
My hope is that what Dan and I share here in this show will simply encourage you and equip you to love others in a way that will be honoring to God.
