Today I am thankful for new connections. This year I have more focused on asking God to give me purposeful relationships. I do not need an entourage of people, just REAL people. People often just want to make friends with anyone. However, as someone asked me last night, “What is the purpose in being friends with a person if the two people can both help each other but they don’t?” Moreover, that is just it—true friends do help one another in the way that they can. No two people can offer the same thing to one another but both of you have something that the other needs. I call this balance. Who has God placed in your life that balances you and you add balance to them? Who wants to connect with people who only zap all the life out of you because they always need something from you (an ear, your time, money, etc.) but never contribute anything to the relationship? There is no reciprocation. Thank God for the relationships in your life where there is mutual reciprocation.
