“Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.”
Colossians 2:6-7 NASB1995
I relate building relationships to forging hot steel metal into a sharp cutting knife. It is a hard, labor intensive but an absolutely beautiful job. We as believers are called to build relationships. We are to build upon Him. It is the very foundation we must walk on in life in order that we can stand with any endurance.
Let’s be honest relationships can be hard and it’s easier to just not try because things just may get messy and you could get hurt. You might be right. I have had people walk into my life and then out. It hurts every time and it never gets easier especially inside the church body.
The good news is that God never leaves us just because others decide to move on. He gives us wisdom to strengthen our faith and he will bring along side us someone else who will encourage us. God never says to stop doing kingdom work so as sisters in Christ let’s keep forging a beautiful relationships with one another being knit together in love! (Col 2:2)
