Investing Time in Relationships

Time is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to the people in our lives. Relationships thrive when we prioritize spending time with those we love. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.” Investing time in relationships fosters trust, understanding, and a sense of belonging.

Life’s busyness can often crowd out intentional time with family and friends. Yet, Jesus Himself modeled the importance of spending time with others. He shared meals with His disciples, visited with friends, and made time for people who needed His touch. Prioritizing relationships often means saying “no” to lesser things so we can say “yes” to what truly matters.

This week, make an effort to spend quality time with someone you care about. Whether it’s a meaningful conversation, a shared activity, or simply being present, your investment of time will bless both of you and honor God.
