Devotions by the Sea: Symbiosis

The ocean is full of fascinating partnerships—mutual help, one-sided benefit, and even harmful dependence. These relationships, called symbiosis, quietly remind us to look at our own connections with others.

Scripture calls believers to a different kind of relationship—one marked by the fruit of the Spirit. We need to strive to produce fruit in our relationships. And how do we do that in a world shaped by human weakness? By relying entirely on the Spirit.

When filled with the Spirit of Jesus, love, patience, and kindness naturally overflow. If these fruits shape our relationships, they will grow more mutual and life-giving. And even when love feels one-sided, keep showing Jesus. The fruit you bear may be exactly what softens another heart.

My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3
