Relationship.

Every where I look, I am being challenged in some way related to relationships. Whether it be the way I relate to a young adult; How I choose to view the homeless person (or the people that walk past the homeless person without a care in the world),My choice in reacting to that very same question I have been asked for the last month ('How are you finding your new position?'); the way that I view God and interact with Him on a daily basis, in the large and the small; my attitude towards work and people when everyone chooses to have a bad day and become extremely critical or how I plan to embark on the next adventure of getting to know a very heart warming and likable lady in Korea.
I am not alone in this. Our church is being challenged on Relationships too. how we view one another; How we deal with being offended; How we offload and who we should offload too (HINT ^^^); How we relate to each other as parts of the same church; How we relate to the community; How we relate to Jesus; The amount of trust we give leaders; Th amount we are communicating love to others and to God through out our days......
It goes on and on!

Yet, surely we should have learnt this by now! After all doesn't it all boil down to LOVE anyway.

The whole bible basically boils down to the two golden commandments of Jesus:

Love God (with no reserve!)

Love others as you would like to be loved.

These two commands are not just something Jesus thought up. They are the word of God in concentrated form. The bear bones of the whole bible (!) are stated in those two 'COMMANDS'.


Jesus died to reconcile us back to each other (through forgiveness) and back to God (through mercy and then grace).

Help us to LOVE out of the little understanding we have, and then top our it up, as we seek you for understanding, wisdom and more love to give.
