In order to have a relationship with someone, we must “build a bridge.”
Everywhere we turn nowadays, it seems to be the norm to “burn bridges” relationally with other people. It takes effort to build a relational bridge! It takes effort to maintain that relational bridge! It’s a lot of hard work!
You will notice that the bridge in the background photo is a very simple structure … made out of whatever materials were available. It’s not fancy … but it crosses the divide … and that’s all that matters. This is a great picture of what our relational “bridge building” often looks like. We use whatever we have, in order to build the relationship. It might not look fancy, but as long as it crosses the divide, that’s all that matters!
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” – Romans 12:18
