rhythms of grace

matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

v.5-6

"Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."

What do friends do for each other?

Why do we spend so much of our time, our hearts and our energy investing into what we call friendships?

Friends are people who we are not obligated to, interaction is pure choice, relationship is a series of those choices.

What makes one individual be the subject of my choice over and over again, and another individual not?

I am still exploring the depth of these loves we call friends.

It is easy to make romantic statements about how we are the same over time, even though we know we are lying through our teeth.

None of us stay the same.

Relationship does not stay the same.

The Bible does stress the importance of friendship, of being a 'brother", a good neighbour etc.

How are my relationships part of my walk with Christ?

I am thinking of you in particular today, and I really believe the grace of God was the reason you ever became the subject of a choice in my life.
