🌅 Risen Relationships: People with a Purpose ✨🤝
God places people in our lives with intention 🙏. Every relationship can become a divine appointment that shapes faith, builds character, and reflects Christ’s love 💬❤️. 📖 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
📝 Brief Reflection: In this week’s The Minister Speaks column, Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows explores how God uses meaningful relationships to encourage, strengthen, and guide believers in everyday life 🌿✝️. The full article offers deeper insight and practical encouragement.
🙌 Perhaps you are the answer to someone’s prayer today.
