Relationships
Relationships are difficult to begin and to nurture into close friendships. They take time and energy. In our society today, many people are too busy and too tired to take time for relationship building. This reality has caused our lives to lack one of the main components God intended for us to have. We are much poorer when we lack meaningful relationships.
This is even true of marriages. When a husband and wife are too busy and too tired, they fail to sit and talk. They fail to take time to understand each other. They don't even pray together. It takes all of their energy to work and to raise their children. This is a dangerous situation. Every couple needs to take time to talk about important feelings and needs every day, not just when there is a crisis.
I want to urge all of us to make time for relationships. Reserve some energy to intentionally befriend someone or to renew a friendship. It will be one of the best things you could do to enrich your life.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Psalms 88-90.
