Relationships of Integrity

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and let it come in."

"We all long for community and relationships" Pastor Mark shared while we are continuing in the Desires series Me vs We.

I've been thinking/talking a lot about relationships lately and reflecting on who I've stayed close with over the years as well as how some have changed over the months, years... as well as the new people that God has placed in my life whether it is for business opportunity or friendship.

Along with many other great thoughts, he shared the following list that I will come back to often and reflect
1. Do no harm.
2. Do all the good you can.
3. Stay in love with God.

"This kind of covenant relationship will transform our lives for the glory of God"

God has some beautiful relationships forming and being strengthened... I'm pretty stoked to see where they lead.

So small by Carrie Underwood

What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It's ok to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing Is just a grain of sand And what you've been out there searching for forever Is in your hands And when you figure out love is all that matters after all It sure makes everything else seem So small
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change

And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast You better make it count cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small
