Cultivating Relationships in the Church
•
Tracye Thompson
In John 13:34-35, Christ says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” In order to obey this commandment, we cannot take relationships lightly. Relationships rooted in love don’t just happen; they require effort. We have to do more than just reach out to others. We have to share our lives with others as well. Love is something we do, not just something we say.
