“Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.” 1 Colossians 4:5-6
Read the Bible for any period of time, and you will quickly notice that the majority of it is not about "how should I live" but more about "how should I live with other". God created us to have relationship with us and for us to have relationship with Him. God created others for us to have relationship with and for them to have relationship with us. And through those relationships with others, we can better understand our relationship with God. If we don't learn how to relate to those around us, how will we ever learn how to relate to God. Relationship is a SKILL. Get out of your house, interact with others, help others, be with others. That is how life is supposed to be. It is not an individual/solitary experience. It is a TEAM sport.
Lord, as much as I may enjoy being alone, I am not meant to be, so help me to see people as a necessity and not an inconvenience.
