To Hear the Same Thing Twice

Today was about relationships again. Although, today i learned about fellowship and how important it is to be in small groups. Small groups to keep each other accountable. That no matter how much you seek Christ heart, you will miss the point without a home. You will miss the point of going to church. It is easy to strive to do things alone, yet many times Christ reflects how important it is to surround yourself around other believers for it builds strength and the God given character with in. It is difficult to get involve at church, but i encourage to do so, you be surprise of how many qualities are the same. I am glad to found this and to just experience this new growth. I realize especially at Water of Life how its all about people. Pure just hits the purpose of Christ heart.

I know that the Lord is telling me to be well aware of my relationships and just importance of fellowship. That i strive to understand that there is more than what is in front of me. That people do not just arrive in your life to make a small impact, but something much more. Many times it takes time for the others to understand you and for you to understand others. Rick Warren said in his book Purpose Driven Life that Jesus is Love and Love is Time. Sounds odd at first, but if you think about it relationships revolve around time and timing. I sure do have some great to not so satisfying relationships, but everything has purpose and i have learned this from my past. Sometimes we got to hang on to understand the purpose of the situation. Maybe it does not work for the way you like but in the end you receive so much more. Relationships are tough, tricking, burdening, relieving, soothing, a mix of everything, but they build character and something that plain words cannot explain. Church is meant to be more than time hearing a priest or pastor speak, but its meant for fellowship. Fellowship is why Christ had a small group called the disciples. It is the core of having God work through people and encourage one another. If there is none of this, then the point of church and falling Christ is somewhat missed. Many times Christ talks about being one body and do unto others, because He surly Loved others. That is why it is the second greatest commandment.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Like your neighbor as yourself'. All the Las and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37-40 NIV

Surly Christ is Love and i strive to understand His heart for i am a wreck.
