Relationship with Jesus is powerful. When we allow the Holy Spirit to bring us to Jesus, when we experience being loved by Jesus, His love changes you and me. As we change, our relationships with others start changing too. Discomfort, disruptions might emerge from growing pains of learning new relationship boundaries with Jesus. Just look at the story of Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus. Being with Jesus changed her relationship boundaries to where her identity in Jesus grew strong roots to hold steady during dark times.

Hold fast to Jesus. Hold fast to Jesus through these changes because all our relationships need Him for them to grow in love. When Jesus invites us to live in sanctuary with Him, He is rescuing us from sin and death. He also works through us to rescue all our loved ones and beyond. The love of God is abundantly powerful in blessing you and me in this way.
