A plant does not grow on its own. It requires assistance from the elements around it: water, sunlight, soil. It's a joint effort. In the same sense we as Christians need that same type of relationship with our fellow believers. We need one where we can grow and thrive along with those around us. Flying solo is not an option as a believer. I find myself rooted in great relationships with my fellow Staffers over this past month. I've been able to meet and become comfortable and go deep with people that I've known for less than a month. That's how God wired us; we are relational. Adam yearned for a partner. And likewise we all yearn for that one person (or maybe more) that we can grow with in Christ. It's what we do. And it has been beyond evident this past month. God has been not good, but great!
