“Ich glaube, dass auch unsere Fehler und Irrtuemer nicht vergeblich sind und dass es Gott nicht schwerer ist, mit ihnen fertig zu werden, als mit unseren vermeintlichen Guttaten.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Let us think here not so much about traffic, but rather about relationships.

And when I am talking about relationships, I am not only thinking about our relationship with other people (marriage relationship), but especially about the relationship believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have with the Living God.

A one-way relationship involves no reciprocal obligation, action, et cetera.

In a one-way marriage relationship it can mean two things:

– The husband does not get anything back out of the relationship.

– The wife does not get anything back out of the relationship.

A two-way relationship entails reciprocal obligation, action, et cetera. And a marriage relationship should be a two-way relationship, the husband has obligations, et cetera, and so has the wife.

If we are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, let us ask ourselves:

“WHAT IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST LIKE?”

It took me from the first of January 2019 until the twenty first of November 2019 to read the Bible from cover to cover this year.

“People who are always fretting about the way things are, wishing they were different, and longing for things to happen that are not likely to happen disqualify themselves from joy.” – J.I. Packer
