FRIENDSHIPS CHAPTER 1: COMPASSION & MENTORSHIP
Welcome to the first episode of the Friendships Series, where we will dive into the relationships that truly shape and transform us. From our relationship with God to our connections with friends, each plays a critical role in building our character.
Today, we're focusing on chapter one of my new book Friendships: Cultivating Twelve Qualities to Become More Like Jesus.
Friendships are more than casual interactions; they profoundly impact our decisions, behaviors, and even our identity. Have you ever made a choice based on a friend's advice or behavior? Our friends’ influence can be a powerful force, leading us to life or death.
True friendships don’t just happen; they require intentional effort. This means being present, showing up as your authentic self, and being open to vulnerability.
There are two common reasons why forming friendships can be difficult:
1. Avoiding Effort
2. Fear of Vulnerability
Compassion goes beyond just feeling sorry for someone; it involves a desire to help them overcome their challenges. It’s about taking action to support others, just as Jesus showed compassion throughout His ministry.
Mentorship is another critical aspect of personal growth. A good mentor guides, supports, and challenges us to be better without expecting anything in return. They create a safe space for growth and encourage us to reach our fullest potential. A mentor should never feel like a burden but rather a source of inspiration and support.
Take some time to reflect on your current friendships and mentorships. Are they contributing positively to your life? Are you being the kind of friend or mentor that fosters growth and compassion?
