Yesterday we learned about relationships with two examples: John 4:6-15 and the book of Philemon; Yes it does exist, it is between Titus and Hebrews. It is important that we make a commitment to our relationships whether it be a marriage, friendship or family member and uphold that commitment. The woman at the well had a hard time with commitment (hence her five marriages). When Jesus spoke to her she was able to see the importance of commitment by giving her life to Christ. In Philemon, Paul was writing to Philemon and asking him to accept Onesimus back as a believer in Christ after he had stole from him. Philemon honored Paul's request and made a commitment to mend his relationship with Onesimus. This week reflect on the relationships in your life and see if there may be a commitment that needs work.
