February 06: Positive Relationships

Word:

For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them. (Matthew 18:20)

A famed basketball coach in the world-famous league, NBA said "Two work better than one, if those two come together and act as one."

Teams in general achieve their best performance when there is no selfish desire in them. This philosophy could be applied to our reality as Christians. If a congregation falls under the negative effect of the individual ambitions of one or more members, it will not prosper. 

But if, on the contrary, each member leans on others and also supports the new ones to seek and expand the Kingdom of the Lord, the congregation, as a leafy tree, will bear fruit and flourish.

God endowed us with nature to relate to others, because relationships give meaning to purpose, meaning and identity to our lives. If we cultivate unhealthy relationships, they will affect who we are and where we want to go.

Allow the Lord to guide your relationships, trust him to let the past fulfill its mission of being history and approach prayer by asking for the patience and wisdom to carry difficult relationships that may arise in your life.

Decide today to build new relationships and make those you possess are healthy and give glory to the Lord. Have Faith in Him, when His hand works, there is nothing impossible.

Prayer:

Lord, lead me to open the doors of my life so that others may enter and approach me, just as I approach you every day. Give me the wisdom to build relationships that will allow me to glorify you by loving others as you love me. Amen.
