Right now in your life do you have relationship in which the lines of communication are breaking down? How have you responded to this person?
Is there someone in our lives that we move silently past without really connecting? Is there a past hurt? A miscommunication? Or maybe just lost touch?
If it was our last month, would we go out of our way to reconnect?
Efficiency is not as important as effectiveness in communication. Time must be spent in order to really connect.
One of our Heart Attitudes at Pleasant View is to live an open, honest life. This means we are willing to be known by others.
Part of real communication is to open our hearts, let down our guard and be genuine. In an atmosphere of trust, we can be truthful toward others about who we really are: our hurts, struggles, successes, and dreams.
See Ephesians 4:16
Perhaps write a letter to someone that lives far away. Call someone you have missed. Drop by to visit someone. Spend the time.
No regrets.
