Value ‘All’, not ‘Some’
I came across a reading in a Christian bookstore today. I’m not sure what the title was, it was pretty much about wholeness and broken-heartedness. There was an interesting line that caught my eyes, it said, Value All Relationship. I kept on reading the passage, and to be honest it speaks personally to me.
Most of us unconsciously do value more our relationship with people that we are close to. Nothing’s wrong with it! Nothing’s wrong with spending quality time with right people. But there is another thing we do need to realize.
Did you know that there is a chance to share the love of Christ to people that you are not really familiar with, to people that you don’t even care about? But the fact is that God has put the right people at the right time in your life.
Don’t you know that it’s not a coincidence that you meet your uni friends, your co-workers, your boss, those people that you often meet but you hardly think of, or anyone that you can even think of but you had never thought of before.
I don’t know how you would put “value all relationship” into action. But Holy Spirit speaks to me in a specific area, that I don’t need to argue or bargain anymore. Just spend time with them as you do with your close friends.
I don’t know about you guys. Does God lead you to someone you know today? Don’t ignore the calling. I pray that He will remind you of someone that is in need of His love today. Amen.
“there’s no such thing as coincidence, there’s only hitsuzen” =P
Great post. We need reminding that we are the closest that many of our friends will ever get to Jesus Christ. We need to be ready when God asks us to speak on his behalf.
