There is a book on my shelf called, “The Relationship Principles of Jesus” by Tom Holladay. It has been on my shelf for about a year. In full disclosure, I bought it from a thrift store, but it is definitely worth more than what I paid for it. Upon reading some of it, I realized that there is so much I have been missing out on by being so isolated from others. The thought that runs through my mind almost every time I communicate with someone, be it via phone, text, email, direct message, or in person, is that I am bothering them or that I am boring them. So instead of possibly encountering rejection or disapproval, I avoid the relationship altogether.
So in the next 8 weeks, I am going one day at a time through this book, and I am sharing my heart in relationship with you all. And at the end of each day, let me know what you think about what I have shared; if you have read this book and what you have learned from it; and any questions, comments, and concerns you may have.
Now, obviously, I am not going to write out the chapter for you to read because that would be wrong. But what I can do is share the point of the chapter, the verse to remember, and the question to consider along with my answer. So, for the next 8 weeks, come back Monday through Friday to follow along with “The Relationship Principles of Jesus“.
Gotta go fill up my cup…..
