Wisdom in Counsel

God has given us access to counsel within the body of Christ.
Wisdom is found when seeking others input.
Good wise counsel can help protect us, recenter us, and move us
into a closer relationship with Jesus.
Isolation, spiritual pride, stubbornness, independence, and
perfectionism are all concepts that keep us from others’
counsel.
We all suffer from blind spots that can be lovingly pointed out
by others.
When relationships repeatedly hit unhealthy flare-ups, these are
often indicators that others in the body should be invited in to
help.
Be careful not to seek out counsel from others that will only
co-sign your desires.
“Our highest purpose as human beings isn’t to try to make this
life work. It’s to reflect the character of God–of our Creator,
Savior and Lord–in the middle of a life that doesn’t work.” -
