Relationships take endurance.
God knows this.
Relationships are complicated, take work and compromise. They take grace, forgiveness, honesty and courage.
You may think that it would easier and simpler to withdraw from relationships altogether but God created human beings to thrive within them.
You are not created to exist alone. Introvert or extrovert- you are created in Christ to be in healthy relationships.
First with God, then with those around you.
- “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,”
Romans 15:5 NIV
You are created in Christ to give and receive God’s blessings through your realtionships with those who He has put in your life.
Don’t cheat yourself or others by withdrawing in fear.
Go forward in faith.
I will be praying Romans 15:5 over my work. Thank you, Jesus for the divine connections you already have created and are creating in my life. Amen
