Motivation to build relationships happens when we are moved by God’s love and have the courage to face our fears.
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
