Value (Good) Relationships 

Invest in meaningful relationships that offer mutual support, encouragement, and accountability.  

Create a network of individuals you trust who can stand with you in times of need to provide strength and protection when you face life's challenges. 

 There are many benefits and strengths found in good supportive relationships.  

• Productivity   -  Working together can yield a better return and  greater efficiency and effectiveness than working alone.

• Mutual Support  -  When one person falls, the other can help them up.  Isolation can leave you vulnerable, while companionship provides support and resilience.  

• Companionship - helps provide comfort, security, and a sense of belonging.  

• Defense Against Adversity -  There's strength and protection in numbers. A united group is even stronger and harder to break.  

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one, because they have good pay for their work. 10 For if one of them falls, the other can help him up. But it is hard for the one who falls when there is no one to lift him up. 11 And if two lie down together, they keep warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 One man is able to have power over him who is alone, but two can stand against him. It is not easy to break a rope made of three strings.

Cherish the value of companionship and community. Remember, we are stronger together, able to support, comfort, and protect each other through life's challenges.   

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of relationships and community. Help us to appreciate and invest in the people You have placed in our lives. May we support and uplift one another, finding strength and comfort in our shared journey. In Jesus' name, Amen.
