Relationships can be complicated. From the playground to the political stage, human connection is often messy, painful, and—let’s be honest—really hard work. And yet, at the heart of our faith lies a call to live differently. Jesus invites us to love our enemies, to forgive those who hurt us, and to pursue peace in a world bent on division. But how do we do that when the people around us are difficult, when trust has been broken, or when our efforts seem to go nowhere? This week we take a closer look at what it means to be faithful in relationships, and how we might reflect the heart of God even when it’s hard.
