At creation, God looked at all he had made and said, 'That's good.' Then there came a time when he realised man was lonely, unfulfilled and incomplete. He said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone' (Genesis 2:18 NIV), and he made Eve, the first woman. None of us can develop to our highest potential unless we're plugged in to nurturing, life-giving relationships.
We're shaped by people! The right people help you to become the best version of yourself, and you do the same for them. They see a 'you' you can't see at times, they cheer you on as you move forward, and they 'get in your face' when you falter.The highest form of this relationship is referred to in Scripture as the 'fellowship of the Spirit' (see Philippians 2:1; 2 Corinthians 13:14 and 1 John 1:6). It's not just a social, relational or intellectual connection, but a deep spiritual link that causes us to thrive.
In Bible times, God gave David the gift of a Jonathan, Mephibosheth the gift of a Ziba and Naomi the gift of a Ruth. And he has people he would like you to meet.
That God ordained destiny helper, who will ignore your inadequacies and turn deaf ears to any slander against you, will locate you when you least expect in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Good Morning and happy Midweek.
