Nothing matters more to God than our relationships.

1 CORINTHIANS 5:18, 20 God, through Christ, reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation… entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.

We have been reconciled to be reconcilers.

JAMES 4:1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

JAMES 4:2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.

You do not have [what you want] because you do not ask God. JAMES 4:2 You do not have [what you want] because you do not ask God.

JAMES 4:2-3 You do not have [what you want] because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Even the good things (or wants) God gives us, when they become the gods that lead us, can become idols that destroy us.

At the heart of division is always a war of wants. ONE THING TO KNOW At the heart of division is always a war of wants.

Your Heavenly Father wants more for you.

“But God gives us more grace.” Your Heavenly Father wants more for you. “But God gives us more grace.” JAMES 4:6

Through Christ, we have received more than anyone can take from us or break in us.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. JAMES 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God.

Ask God: “What grace do You want me to receive from you?”
