24. Relationships are not about feeling good

Strengthening a relationship entails knowing each other better, spending time, respecting one another, and being honest.

It’s not convenient. A healthy relationship involves sacrifice, vulnerability, and commitment.

Being in a relationship is not just about feeling good in the company of another.

In the same way, having a relationship with God is not about feeling good. It entails knowing Him more, spending time with Him, being faithful, and imitating His ways.

Being in a relationship with God means being discipled by Him. Discipleship is a relationship.

It’s not easy or convenient. But knowing more about how He loves us and imitating Him will transform us.

Are you being transformed by your relationships?
