We need people who are for us. People who have our best interest at heart are there for us not only when we think we need them, but also when they see the faulty character traits and a destructive pattern in us.
We need relationships that will boldly but lovingly make us aware of our sinful behavior and confront our denial. A healthy relationship has freedom to take a tough love position against our rebellion.
We need each other. You need someone and someone needs you. To make this life work, we have to learn to lean and support. Relationship is about give and take, confessing and forgiving, reaching out and taking hold.
We are all of one body and many parts: “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it” (1Corinthians 12:26).
