The Joy of Relationships : Jonathan Crabtree
This last month or so in edge all the preaching has been about relationships, and how they should be at the core of everything we do, it states clearly that we were designed to be a unit, a team, we weren't designed to fight the world alone as the outside world often makes us believe, which is why we need to cherish the relationships we have and not take them for granted. Now I can tell you for free that in the past I have had friends that meant the world to me, but over time I have neglected them to the point where we barley talk. Your friends are a joy, they can be the source of your strength and the props and fuel to getting through your life, its a given rule that you cant get anywhere without anyone else! So if someone else is helping you down the road, let them know and invest in your relationship rather than sucking out all the fuel and driving off to the next destination. As much as that can work for a while it is not sustainable or healthy. As humans we need to be in fellowship with others, god designed us that way, so if we just live day by day scrounging the energy from select individuals and changing those individuals daily then eventually you will run out of places to go, and ultimately you wont have been in "fellowship" with anyone. Im not saying Im perfect in this matter, in fact Im still trying to sort things out in my own life, everything I say on this blog is not just a preach to you, but its a preach to myself. But just take it from me, its better to invest before you grow apart rather than to try and build a bridge after! So this week take time out to let your friends know they are wanted, let them know how much they mean to you and how much they help you. It will change your life, and change theirs! Go on, I DARE YOU!
