Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family] …]( [ROMANS 12:9-10]( God created us for community. We’re wired for relationships: with our friends, spouse, coworkers, or kids. God intended healthy relationships to be [compassionate]( [sacrificial]( [honorable]( and [forgiving](. Cultivating those qualities often means surrendering our expectations for our relationships and trusting Him instead. Today, we’re sharing Videos and Bible Plans that can help you engage with the people you love, parent, or lead. Watch the Videos below, and then select one of the featured Plans to go deeper into the concepts they outline. You can complete Plans on your own, or go through them with someone using [Plans with Friends](. Verse of the Day Videos: 1. Don’t miss what matters most. [Ellie Limebear]( [If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal.]( [1 CORINTHIANS 13:1]( 2. Be willing to forgive. [Nona Jones]( [Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.]( [EPHESIANS 4:32]( 3. Lay down your life for the people you love. [Judah Smith]( [For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all. And this great love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends.]( [JOHN 15:13]( 4. Praise God, even when things get messy.
