God has given us access to counsel within the body of Christ. Wisdom is found when seeking others input.
Good wise counsel can help protect us, recenter us, and move us into a closer relationship with Jesus.
Isolation, spiritual pride, stubbornness, independence, and perfectionism are all concepts that keep us from others’ counsel.
We all suffer from blind spots that can be lovingly pointed out by others.
When relationships repeatedly hit unhealthy flare-ups, these are often indicators that others in the body should be invited in to help.
Be careful not to seek out counsel from others that will only co-sign your desires.
“Our highest purpose as human beings isn’t to try to make this life work. It’s to reflect the character of God–of our Creator, Savior and Lord–in the middle of a life that doesn’t work.” - Larry Crabb
