The Beginning - Part 6

Creating a new life in me.

Day 6: Relationships. Understand that God did not leave the world empty. The air he created was meant to be filled, to be enjoyed by creatures that swoop and soar in all directions, that live in and enjoy the air. So too is the space that is our new life to be shared with others, filled up with people that love what we have created and want to soar within it. We support them with our space and we help them to fly. As well, the creatures that dwell in the sea are not to be forgotten. They dwell in the waters of the earth and are as important (if not more important) as the relationships within the boundaries of our space. Our space is the only link they have to water in the heavens, and we must work hard to keep our space open and visible so that the relationships in the water below might one day end up with their own space and access to the waters above. Both of these kinds of creatures were called to be fruitful and fill the water and the seas, as our relationships are called to be fruitful and fill up our lives. Only the birds were called to increase on the Earth, as they are the workers within the space. The workload is big and the workers are few, so we must increase.

Genesis 1:20-23
And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let the birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to it's kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water and the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." And there was evening, and there was morning---the fifth day.

Action Plan: Think about someone you have taken for granted. Think about the people you haven't allowed access into your life. Think about people you have been in contact with that seem alone or struggling with something. In order to create life in and beneath your space, you need to open up your borders and take relationships in. Allow relationships to be fruitful in your life by choosing 3 people you have had the opportunity to love but you have chosen not to. Instead, make the conscious decision to love them in whatever way you can think of. Saying hello and talking to them would be a good start. You'll be surprised how fruitful these 3 relationships can be and how quickly they multiply once the borders around your space have opened up.
