What is your reaction to a person who only talk about themselves? The world is a place full of selfish people with disrespect and unloving actions. The best place for learning how to love and respect others is in your family, especially when you are in the family of God. God heals, redeems, and satisfies as He shares love and compassion with us. We should grow in our love & relationship with God and others around us.

What disciplines are you currently practicing that help you grow in your relationship with God?

What are you failing to do that would help you grow in a relationship with God?

The fact is we don’t share our faith because we are not continually pursuing our relationship with God like we should. 

When we get excited about something we can’t help but share it with others.
