God created us for relationships. Our God is a relational God, and He created us to be in right relationship with Him and with others. However, there is the problem of sin. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin impacts our relationship with God and with others (hurt people hurt people). But there is grace. Praise God for grace! Jesus came to die for our sins and to allow us, by the grace of God, to be restored in our relationship with God. Therefore, we should offer grace to one another. We are called to love others as God first loved us. So, how are you growing in your relationship with God and socially with others? Let’s grow in love.

Everyone faces battles in their mind. Loving Jesus doesn’t mean you won’t struggle with mental health. Faith and struggle can exist together. God calls us to renew our minds, stop carrying burdens alone, and come to Jesus for rest.

Your physical health is important to you and to God. God created you, and He wants the best for you. It is our responsibility to take care of our bodies. We have an enemy that wants to make it all about vanity. We obsess over how we look. Yet God made us in His image, and He wants us to be physically healthy so we can reach our full potential in knowing and serving Him. Our motivation for physical health is so that we can serve God longer and stronger. Let’s commit to taking one step toward physical health in 2026, so we can truly live our lives to the full.
