We are Relational People living in a Rotating World

Posted by Fidelity in

We are maturing and we have a mission. God hates relational breakups because it destroys what he's been trying to make since the beginning of time. That's why God tells us to go and make things right before you take communion. Words like reconciliation, compassion and grace are meant to be spread on those that are part of our broken oikos. We are made to interact with the unlovely, the hard-headed and the lost. When we transfix the lens of judgment we will see that we too have possesed all of those qualities at one point or another. We are made to grow those that are just like us. We are all at different stages in the "hard to love" spectrum. We are maturing Christians for this very fact, because we are on a constant path of sanctification. We must keep trying to restore, relate and reneweven when it's hurts and we want to give up. In order to have restoration we must have dual desires in both hearts. Change can't come from singular desires, although change can spur from singular efforts. It's our job as the body and children of heaven to be relational. That's what God intended. HDC focuses more on building relationships than any other theme because that's our mission.
"fishers of men"
It's not just a catchy saying but we must make a commitment to drop our nets (whatever's bogging/consuming/weighting our hearts, time and minds down) and pick up our eyes and hearts to the people of the world and help "the lost get found"

God made us with different interests, and God equipped us all with different talents to reach unity in faith.
Ephesians 4:11-13

Lets do it!!!

prayers of my life:

"Father God, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for believing in me, for giving me a hope and a future. Today I choose to stretch; I choose increase; I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Dear Lord, I want to please you with my words of my mouth and meditations of my heart. I want to spark a revolution for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you let my whole life be a blazing offering, a life that shouts and sings the greatness of the king. Bend me and mold me use me for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

2 corinthians 4:7-12

The gospel so much exceeds the law in glory, that it eclipses the glory of the legal dispensation. But even the New Testament will be a killing letter, if shown as a mere system or form, and without dependence on God the Holy Spirit, to give it a quickening power. (2Co 3:12-18)

Dear Lord, I need Your loving touch today. Let Your love song wash over me and fill my heart. I release my feelings of doubt to You and rest in Your undying love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
