Your Spiritual Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

God created us to be part of a spiritual family that dedicates itself to loving and honoring him\u2014as a believer, you\u2019re not only his child but a sibling to all other past, present, and future believers. In loving your spiritual family, you\u2019ll learn the essential skill of unselfish loving<\/em>. <\/strong>Unselfish loving <\/em>means loving others, even when it\u2019s difficult to do so\u2014such as when they\u2019re being rude, it\u2019s inconvenient for you, or they need too much from you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to Know Your Spiritual Family<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Being a member of your church is important because your church will serve as your support system through the hard work of fulfilling your purposes. <\/strong>Take the step beyond attending<\/em> church and start to get involved <\/em>in it by getting to know the other members, showing love to them, and finding your role within your spiritual family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vital Experiences of Fellowship<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you become involved with your spiritual family, you experience life with them. <\/em>Experiencing life together\u2014the good and the bad\u2014is called <\/strong>fellowship<\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Fellowship is best practiced as a small group within your church, because everyone has the chance to speak up, be heard, and meaningfully support one another. In these small groups, you can experience genuine fellowship<\/em>, which grants you four vital experiences that enhance your spiritual growth<\/a> and understanding of unselfish love<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Mutuality: <\/strong>In a fellowship committed to mutuality, members take care of one another, reciprocate what they receive, and take on equal responsibilities. They can fully depend on one another to have their needs\u2014physical, emotional, and spiritual\u2014met. <\/li>
  2. Authenticity: <\/strong>In an authentic fellowship, you\u2019re free to be fully honest about your failures, confess your weaknesses, ask for help, and discuss your doubts. The more you open up about your life, the more other group members are willing to open up about theirs. This creates a fellowship of holistic support, where all<\/em> struggles are addressed. <\/li>
  3. Sympathy: <\/strong>A sympathetic fellowship responds to members\u2019 suffering by entering into their pain with <\/em>them to help carry the burden and validate their emotions. This fellowship of suffering<\/em> is the deepest level of fellowship you can offer someone, because turning toward someone\u2019s pain, not away, is a profound act of unselfish love. <\/li>
  4. Forgiveness: <\/strong>Genuine fellowship forgives and moves on quickly. <\/strong>Sometimes you\u2019ll hurt the people in your fellowship or you\u2019ll be hurt by them, but a genuine fellowship will never use your mistakes against you. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Build and Maintain a Healthy Fellowship Community <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    It takes a lot of work to build a healthy, loving fellowship, but God reveals how to do so through his Word\u2014there are five elements that every healthy fellowship community needs: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Honesty: <\/strong>Members tell hard truths and speak to one another directly <\/em>but lovingly, as they would a member of their family. <\/strong>This type of honesty allows group members to work through issues instead of hiding them or diminishing them\u2014actions that can create underlying frustration or hurt in the group, eventually causing it to crumble. <\/li>
    2. Humility: <\/strong>Humility is essential in a fellowship group because it opens you up to asking for help, and helps you relate to others\u2019 experiences instead of looking down on them. <\/li>
    3. Courtesy: <\/strong>Being courteous of others means being considerate of their feelings, respectful of their differences, and exercising patience. This is especially important with members you find \u201cdifficult.\u201d When you try to better understand<\/em> these people with patience, you may find there\u2019s a reason for their \u201cdifficulty\u201d like insecurity or trauma. It\u2019s easier to show unselfish love toward people once you really <\/em>get to know them. <\/li>
    4. Trust:<\/strong> Your group not only has a duty to deal with any issues that a member brings up but also to understand that these issues are shared in confidence\u2014no one outside your group should find out about them.  <\/li>
    5. Regularity: <\/strong>Deep, meaningful relationships<\/a> happen between people who meet frequently. Your meetings shouldn\u2019t be organized around convenience<\/em>\u2014this makes it all too easy for urgent, unimportant matters to get in the way.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
