The Value of Relationships

During the past year, you may have experienced relationships that were painful and others that were wonderful and rewarding. When Jesus came to the earth, he demonstrated that he understood both the wonder and the pain of our relationships. He experienced both.  He came to be a new relationship; a relationship that will strengthen all of our relationships.  Jesus came to show us how to enjoy a new way of relating to God and to each other. 


In the beginning, God created you to be in relationship with him and others.  A life without relationships may be a simpler life, but it is also an empty life.  We really have three relationships: our relationship with God, our relationship with self, and our relationship with others.  The path to the greatest possible joy in life is found in the priority that Jesus taught about relationships.  Jesus said that the first commandment is to love God and the second commandment is to love others as we love ourselves (Mark 12:29-31). 

 

How we feel about the three relationships comes to expression in Psalm 13: Jesus tells us to place the highest value on relationships.


Be Encouraged,

Pastor

Thank God!

By Reverend Kelly • September 30, 2020
In the moments of turmoil, in the hours of trial, In the midst of any circumstances, you can thank God. Thank Him for His Son, Thank Him for His forgiveness, Thank Him for overlooking your weakness, Thank Him for the promise of eternal life. Thank God for the opportunity to be a blessing to others, to be a friend to the friendless, to encourage those who have lost hope, and to cheer up those who are downcast! You can make a difference. You can be on the Lord’s side. You can be a blessing to someone! Be Thankful for That! Poem by Pilcher, K., Jr. Thank God! Taken from www.faithclub.org
