Value Relationship
Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
Guarding the Fellowship - So many of us have been hurt in relationships that we can become a bit hesitant when it comes to relationships and sharing. There is a safety element that is crucial to any relationship. Can I trust you?

Be eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of [and produced by] the Spirit in the binding power of peace.
says, “ Make every effort to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace [each individual working together to make the whole successful].”
says, “ Make every effort to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace [each individual working together to make the whole successful].”
We should be aware and ready to guard the bond of fellowship, to value it. Make sure it is preserved. Do not give the Devil a foothold. How do we do this?
We need not sow thistles and brambles; they come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous to earth: and so, we need not teach men to complain; they complain fast enough without any education. But the precious things of the earth must be cultivated.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24
– Charles Spurgeon
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,

You shall eat the good of the land;
But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
God is always encouraging us!
You must invest in them
You must struggle with them
You must learn from them
Then you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
Guard your mouth
Guard your mouth
do not speak evil
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
but knowledge will rescue the righteous.
Proverbs 11:9
It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor;
a sensible person keeps quiet.
Your kindness will reward you,
but your cruelty will destroy you.
A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare.
Gentle words are a tree of life;
a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
Wise words are like deep waters;
wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.
Wise words satisfy like a good meal;
the right words bring satisfaction.
Wise words are more valuable
than much gold and many rubies.
Plans are established by counsel;
By wise counsel wage war.
Telling lies about others
is as harmful as hitting them with an ax,
wounding them with a sword,
or shooting them with a sharp arrow.
Guard Your Heart
Guard Your Heart
Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
Catch us the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Matthew 18
Love one another, forgive one another, receive your healing from God!
keep on loving and serving all those around you!
