In life, there are some very important words, teachings or messages that cannot be overemphasized, and so, they must continually be projected into the hearts of people to help and keep them on the right path so they enjoy the blessings and riches that they carry. One of such is the role of love in relationships. Whether we are speaking of the relationship between spouses, people preparing to get married, family members and friends.
For the next couple of weeks I will be talking about values that bring out the best in any relationship. If you want a beautiful, love filled and sweet relationship, then you don't want to miss any of these teachings. The very first we shall look at today is the foundation and the bedrock. If only we all can embrace it, then we have a good chance of seeing that splendid picture of the relationship which we say from the beginning fulfilled.
TIP ONE: SPIRITUAL FERVENCY
By this I mean the continuous passionate dependence on the finished work of Christ Jesus and His loving grace to keep and see you through life's journey. Without this, your relationship won't enjoy the joy and bliss that God wants you to enjoy the way He wants you to.
Our relationship with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, what I call the vertical connection, is the very first kind of relationship we should give priority to. This Vertical Connection with our Creator is what makes the horizontal connection with the people around us worthwhile. Two examples I'd love to give from scriptures that drive this home are the relationships between Adam and Eve, as well as that between Isaac and Rebecca.
For Adam, before Eve came into his life he had already had an existing sweet fellowship with The Father which didn't slack even after Eve became his wife. Also, taking a look at Rebecca, scripture says she was attractive in appearance and of course, in character evidenced by the interaction she had with Abraham's servant which only could have been as a result of her personal relationship with the God of her fathers. So, we see here that rather than put the cart before the horse as some do today by wanting to run into a relationship, its imperative we do it right by first running after an intimate relationship with Christ Jesus.
This way we can enjoy our relationships especially that which has to do with us spending the rest of our lives with one special person. If peradventure, reading through this you realize it has spoken to you and you have not come to accept Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please contact me today through my profile so I pray with you, lead you to Christ and always be here to counsel you so you can enjoy the best out of your relationships. Next week, God willing I'll share another very helpful tip in making your relationship wonderful.
I love you all. Stay blessed.
Keep Loving, Keep Living...............LOVE ISSUES.
