Side by Side: Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love

by Edward T. Welch

Are you feeling ordinary or a little less so? Do you have the Spirit? If so, you are just the person God has been looking for. When you, in your weakness, move toward others, you honor God and are more powerful than you know. You are qualified by the Spirit.

The Christian life is about growth. Everything is in motion, drawn along by our knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Spirit’s power. Conversations and relationships move forward too. They grow, they deepen, they become more loving, encouraging, and helpful.

It is unmistakable love that mimics the strategic planning of the triune God’s rescue mission. He planned and acted even before we knew our real needs.
