Life-giving people have endurance. They have a rich and valuable life because they are willing to experience life loving others. When we do this it can get messy. It can get painful. People can be messy. People can be painful.
Life-giving people are in life to experience it to the fullest. They are not trying to escape it. They are in it for the long haul. They understand that the purpose for other people is to enhance the quality of life. Relationships do this. People enhance the pleasure and the pain. People enhance the joy and the sadness. This is what people do. It’s their job. It’s their gift to us.
Life-giving people are ok with people doing what they do. They are not afraid of messy or the potential for pain. They are life giving. They become the thermostat not the thermometer. Life-giving people give people a long chance. (1 Corinthians 13:4) Life-giving people endure. They don’t loose sight of why they have people. And they don’t quit no matter what people bring, so “Let ‘em bring it” and…
Be Life Giving
