“Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.” - Hebrews 12:14-15 NLT
No Wonder
No wonder we feel like we are missing God's blessings. We need to be in healthy church communities where redemptive relationships thrive as members live in peace and look after each other. Too many of us live disconnected lives, with no one to help us avoid destructive things like bitterness that can split apart friends, families, and churches. It is not easy to live in healthy, healing relationships—it takes work. When we don't work at it, no wonder we miss out on the joys and blessings God provides for us.
