Faith is about relationships -
with God, obviously, and with people, necessarilyWe need relationships with people who will remind us when we make mistakes or start bad habits.
We need people with whom we can celebrate.
We need people who will mentor us and people we can mentor.
Who are your people?
- Friends who can be honest with you in both good and bad times. From whom can you accept advice?
- People older than you whom you respect because of their faith as well as what they do. Who would you like to be like?
- People younger than you, in whom you see yourself. Who is experiencing something you could help address because you have been there?
If you lack relationships with people in these 3 categories, start now to build these different relationships. Cultivate and nurture the relationships, and in so doing, you will increase your capacity to "have faith."
And, by all means, do not forget to begin with your relationship with God, who blesses us through the people in our lives!
