Building Friendships

A desire for connection, for friendship, for relationship is a foundational part of us all.

Everyone has a desire to be a part of something greater and bigger than themselves. We have an innate wanting to be wanted, needed and appreciated. We are not be to be alone. God intended for us to be in relationship. We are to be connected to others. I, for one, need to be in friendships for accountability sake. We one another to stretch us, to help each other grow. We need mentors to teach and show us how to use our gift. We need to be a mentor to someone that needs our instruction. There is a need to teachers. You need a teacher as well as being a teacher. You see how the connections, friendships and relationships work. What is past down from others to you; you then pass on to others. Build positive, healthy, growing relationships. We have enough negative, gossiping, back biting going on around us today. We need to turn things around in with those in our lives and be positive. Is there someone today you need to be a friend to? Who do you need in your life?
