XO - It Started With Me. Now It's Me And You - Molly Ratliff

When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. 2 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, 3 four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. 4 They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. 5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”MARK 2:1-5 (NLT) “A RIGHT relationship is a relationship God would want to be apart of. A relationship done God’s way.” Right relationships are not focused on immediate options but on the end goal. Right Relationships are willing to put in time and effortRight Relationships don’t just focus on my needs but others needs. There are “friends” who destroy each other,    but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.PROVERBS 18:24There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. JOHN 15:13 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[e] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[f] MATTHEW 22:37-39RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS (aka: relationships done God’s way) focus on the end goal, put in time and effort, focus on others needs
