Day 48:: Linking

Linking arms with others isn't easy. It requires vulnerability, time, selflessness, and honesty. However, life without linking arms is more difficult than it may seem and makes it almost impossible for us to live the way God intended. David's men "helped him become king in just the way God had spoken." We need people who will help us become who God has spoken for us to be. We need people who will walk with us into new territory. We were meant to live in this interdependent way but Satan has skewed our ideas of interdependence with desire for competition, independence, accomplishment, and pride. Satan wants us all to believe that life is not about relationships.

God, I am weary and insecure in new relationships. They are scary and require so much of my energy. However, you want me to have Truth-speakers and Love-sharers and Grace-endowers in my life.
