Relationships

Now I know I have not written a blog in a while, but I was particularly inspired to write this message in the shower this afternoon. I know, the shower of all places! Well, God speaks to us all the time regardless of our location.

As I grow through life I have discovered that there are all kinds of people in this world. When we grow up we begin to learn the best ways to deal with different types of people. It is something that I deal with as a teacher everyday, trying to teach young people to see different perspectives and ways to deal with others who are very different from them. However, I have also learned that there are some people who, no matter your command of social skills, you cannot deal with. Now God has been teaching me lately that it is with these people that we can no longer depend on our own social abilities but we have to depend on Him for the wisdom to maneuver those relationships. Sometimes certain people require the absolute grace of Jesus and without that the relationship, (no matter the kind), would just explode in destruction. No matter how much I know now, God continues to teach me day after day, and I continue to need Him more and more for everyday things (such as relationships). Some days I have to ask God simply for the words that I should be speaking. I am truly helpless without Him, and I know this: God is ALWAYS faithful. He will see us through difficult relationship. He will see us through tough times. He will see us through any circumstance that comes our way. We just have to humble and cling to Him: OUR ROCK.
