Your Relationship With God
Your relationship with God will impact your relationships with others. If you do not have a close relationship with God, you will never have a solid or intimate relationship with others. How to keep an excellent relationship with God.
- Read your Bible
- Pray
- Obey
- Serve
- Gratitude
By reading your bible, you form a closer and more meaningful relationship with God. Pray without ceasing; as you know, God will answer your prayers in his time frame. Obey the ten commandments as it is not called the ten suggestions. Serve others with a grateful and caring heart. Have gratitude for all that God has given you.
Family Relationships
Do not get in fights with your family members. Some families have broken apart when a parent dies because they felt cheated out of some inheritance. If your parent were still alive, would they be pleased with your behavior? I think not. When a parent dies, they are required to give anyone money or property when they pass on. Some people feel entitled to inheritance. People are not entitled to anything when someone passes on. Get along with your brothers and sisters. Get along with your cousins. You will have many regrets later in life if you fight with family members on trivial matters in the scheme of things.
Acquaintances
How you treat others says volumes about yourself. Treat all acquaintances with the respect they deserve. Treat them fairly and kindly. Be friendly to your co-workers and get to know them. Take the people you work with out for lunch or coffee. Praise your employees for a job well done. Workers treat the business where they are working as if it was their own business. Do not show up late to work or take the day off just because you feel like it. Put yourself in your employer’s shoes. Be grateful for your job, employer, and co-workers. How you perform on your job says how you act as a person.
Marriage
Treat your husband or wife with the utmost respect. Never yell at or threaten each other. Keep your marriage vows as they are between you and God. Treat your spouse as you want your spouse to treat you. Praise each other, and be caring, kind, compassionate, loving, hopeful, joyful, and peaceful. Be kind to your children and never threaten or hurt them. It is better to have a millstone tied around your neck and drown than to harm one of God’s little ones in any way. Children are a gift from God; you should cherish and protect your little ones at all costs. Ensure your children form a long-lasting and beautiful relationship with God. Encourage them to read the bible and keep the Lord’s day holy. Have your children say their bedside prayers before they go to bed at night. Take your children to church, as children do learn from examples. Your marriage vows were given before God. God is part of your marriage and all of your relationships with others. Make sure you see God shining through in your relationships with others every day.
