21 Days of Filiation: God, Family & ChurchSample

POWERFUL CONNECTIONS

Relationships promote us. No one grows, or much less arrives at his God-designed destiny, alone. Human configuration requires relationships; the Father wanted it that way. This is why the Bible states that, in Jesus, we are God's family. Jesus is the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. We only win when we decide to interact with each other. Opening our hearts, exchanging experiences, learning, listening, and helping are all part of powerful connections. Surrounding yourself with the right people can propel you to levels you never imagined reaching.

People are types of doors for us to move forward. Even we can only know the love of Christ deeply in interaction with members of the Body of Christ. It is very important to emphasize that interaction in the Body happens, especially through the Body of Christ. Your local church is extremely important in offering you healthy, mature, and fruitful relationships. Everything will conspire to make you feel like an orphan, even though you are part of a spiritual family. Don't wait to be called; go for it! Take an active stance to integrate and develop deep relationships. If the Church is a family, get closer to your parents and siblings and grow.

When you develop a heart that knows how to honor, you attract into your life what your brothers and sisters in the faith bring from Heaven through their gifts and talents. There is a divine principle ─ you attract what you honor. Don't underestimate your relationships. Value them at every level and know how to contribute and draw the best out of them.
