Enjoying The Gift Of Relationships

DAY 5 OF 5

Thinking of Others

What’s interesting about relationships is that in order to fully enjoy them, we must be focused on others. The moment we begin to focus on what we’re getting out of them or what we want others to do, our joy will die. People will disappoint us; they will fail us and we will fail them. The opportunities to invest in others are endless. Part of enjoying our relationships is making time for them. Pursue someone you’d like to know or someone you haven’t seen in a while. Write down ways your friends are meaningful to you. We are forgetful people and need reminders of how great a gift our friends truly are.

No strategies will completely cause us to be free of relationship strife; we need Jesus! We also want to put our faith in action, so we try, knowing that we will make mistakes and that God’s grace is essential in this quest.

What are some ways that you can practically invest and make time for relationships?
