Relationships

As I was talking with some friends, I realized what the devil's greatest weapon is. Relationships, our lives are centered, filled and created around relationships. Relationships are what make our lives complete. They are healthy, and encouraging. However, they are also very dangerous. They are what the devil uses to distract us from God and will. When we have a strong relationship someone, we care about what they think about us, what they want us to do. That can distract us from what are real purpose is, and what God wants us to do. We try to please those that we have strong relatinships with. Sometimes we find ourselves caring to much about what those people think and not enough about what God thinks.

oh you know I struggle with that so much. I talk to you about it alot! Its so so easy for me to put my relationships with people before God, especially my relationship with Neil. If I could apply even half the effort I give into other things, I would grow so much in Christ. I want to, its just so hard for me sometimes. You should help me roommate. :) love.
