Recovering A Life Of Relationship
God invites us to a relationship with Him, so we can know His principles for living right, and then set healthy boundaries in our relationships with others. God wants us to utilize the gifts and talents He has given us to help others. It’s only as we reach out and serve others that we will get to know ourselves and the unique gifts and talents we have been given. This is life – the recovered life.
What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. (1 Corinthians 2:12 NLT)
God never intended us to live in isolation. His plan is for humans to live in relationship with Him and with each other. Isolation may be more familiar to us, but with God’s help, we can learn to maintain good relationships with others. God wants to reveal our true self and help us excel in serving others.
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. (Galatians 5:13 NLT)
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (James 1:5 NLT)
Prayer: Loving God, Help me to move from isolation and hiding behind walls to walking in healthy supportive relationships. Strengthen my resolve to work through any barriers that surface so my relationships with others will grow and mature. Amen
