Psalm 145, verse 18
Philippians 4, verses 6 and 7
James 5, verse 16
1 Peter 3, verse 7
Is my walk with God just another escape and entertainment that allows me to avoid what’s important in life? Or is it the important thing that I always craved, all while choosing everything else besides it?
In relationship, if left to my own patterns and coping mechanisms, I will defend, rationalize, blame, criticize and condemn from the depths of my pain and hurt. If I keep God at the center of my life, and I approach Him through supplication and humbleness, I receive His Grace and Mercy, which allows me to return to a place of compassionate love for the other.
If keeping God at the center of my own life brings healing and transformation, the same must be true of keeping God at the center of relationship. Not just two of us, but three. The bond can only deepen as we confess our sins to one another and seek forgiveness, and as we give ourselves daily to the God whose intimacy is the perfect example for our togetherness.
