First Steps – March 1, 2021

 

While attending a funeral service, a granddaughter said this about her deceased grandfather, “He excelled at giving the gift of a good experience.” What a legacy blessing.

Love is formed through the bond of experience. Trust is formed through the bond of experience. This doesn’t mean, nor will it ever imply, perfection in a relationship. No individual is perfect. No single life is perfect; therefore, no relationship will be perfect. Thankfully, they don’t have to be. Strong, fruitful, fulfilled relationships are never perfect. They only need to be authentic, where both parties show up with good intentions, act on those intentions, and be willing to forgive. If there is a secret to a blessed relationship, I think that this is it.

We love people into wholeness, meaning relationships are crucial to the spread of the gospel and the sanctification process. God, through the Holy Spirit, will use every experience to reveal his love, grace, and mercy. We only need to excel at giving the gift of a good experience.
