Disturbed With Status Quo

Relationships on the Clock

the other day i was meeting with senior guys for lunch. we have been meeting for 4 months on mondays to discuss discipleship and scripture. many times i get frustrated and tired of never being able to see results from our meetings. this monday in particular, there were results.

one of the guys that i love dearly, opened up to me. as i sat there talking to him for about an hour, i realized that relationships are time consuming, tiring, and frustrating, but profitable.

the moment that you initiate a relational bond, you have started your time clock. some relationships see progress and success early. some other relationships don't see this progress and success for quite some time. but what we can draw from all of this is, relationships require time. time that can deflate a person, time that can discourage another. please remember this though, time is of the highest necessity. we never know when we will see results, so keep plugging away.
