LENT IV equipping

For our sacred relationships to thrive, we must practice equipping those we love with an understanding of their gifts.

We want to equip those we love and sometimes that involves brutal honesty. Samuel certainly equipped David when he anointed him, and when Jesus cured the blind man he equipped him for a new ministry.
