When you’ve worked hard for something it’s natural to feel proud of that accomplishment. If we’re not careful pride can settle in and affect our relationship with God and others. Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us no matter how different we feel from others, our goal should be unity in our Christian relationships.
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
