I want to share a passage out of a book that me and some of my friends are reading together as a walk in Christ together to grow ourselves and to grow our relationship with each other set on the solid foundation of Christ. Do you have relationships that continuously fall apart... ask yourself "are these relationships set on a firm foundation or are they set on the foundation of sinking sand .... of talking about other people in negative ways, gossip, fear, jealousy, envy, trying to knock the other person down... never wanting them to do better or have more than me...?" Really do a self check of why these things are not working out in your favor.
I am so excited to be reading this book with two good friends of mine because it gives us a glorious common ground. If you would like to get in on this, it's not too late. The book is The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and today we are reading chapter 4. We read a chapter a day. If you can't get the book right now, I would encourage you to get it a little later and then get one or two other people to go through the 40 day journey with you.
This is what really stood out to me today:
"When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will being to live differently. You will start living in light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, task, and circumstance. Suddenly many activities, goals, and even problems that seemed so important will appear trivial, petty, and unworthy of your attention. The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appear."
Let that passage really marinate all over you today.
Love you all and have a great holiday weekend!
