Ephesians 4: 14-16

I felt like God really led me to these verses and particularly verse 16. It really just emphasizes and talks about the strength in the body rather than the strength of being alone. I feel like this is really speaking to me in regards to my attitude towards community lately, and especially tonight. I feel like this is a word from God telling me not to take for granted the power I have and receive through relationship, and to really treasure them. I take a lot of the growth I have had thus far through my relationship or through community for granted, and I don't want to be a man who is ungrateful towards God. I want to realize what he has given me and treasure it. These verses have really put that word into my heart and mind and even just in this moment I am grateful for the word. This week I have been taking my relationships in life for granted, and I don't want to do that any more, I want to thank God for the many blessings he has given me.
