Ideal relationships

Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. (1 Timothy 5:1, 2 ESV)

Though out my Life thus far, I have had the benefit of many relationships.  Some relationships have been deeper than others and some have taught me more than I would have ever thought possible.  This passage in  1 Timothy is particularly special to me because many of the relationships mentioned I either never had, or were such that they were never in the manner that was deemed "normal".  I therefore interpret this passage as how I perceive these relationships...and they are all a very warm, inviting, respectful type of relationship in my mind.  May we seek these sort of ideal relationships amongst fellow believers, withholding judgement and instead seeking to edify others, and encourage them as Christ has brought others into our own lives to encourage us.  Let us be sure to use our tongue to bring about life.
