What Does it Mean to Be REAL to Another Person? (part 2)

“When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.” How a person seems to show up is intimately connected to how we choose to show up for them.

No meetings are accidental. “Those who are to meet will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy relationship.”

In a holy relationship, we’re not interested in our brother for what he can do for us. We’re interested in our brother, period. A holy relationship is, above all else, a friendship between two brothers. We are not put here to audition one another, put someone on trial, or use other people to gratify our own ego needs. We are not here to fix, change or belittle another person. We are here to support, forgive, and heal one another.
