Keep Your Love On: ConnectionSample

Day 19

God modeled honor when He transformed us from slaves to friends, from orphans to sons. The God of the universe stooped down low to look at each of us eye-to-eye. A relationship where one person has all the power, leaving the other none, is one of dishonor, not honor. If honor is something expected, rather than something given, it becomes just a manipulative way of demanding the control, power, and value in the relationship. God did not demand honor from us, but instead used His power to make us powerful, insisting that we be equal partners in bringing Heaven to Earth with Him.

• Are you able to practice honor in situations when you feel dishonored?
• Are there certain situations where you feel you have the right to withhold honor from another?
