Relationships and Religion - Initial  Relationships

What do relationships mean to you?  It is built on honesty and or tricks, depending on the type of  relationship.  As I ponder  this, IA believe that in order to have a good honest relationship you must have  and understand the relationship you have with God; as he is the foundation.  Matt 6:33 NKJ.

At birth we all were born with a measure of God in us; remember he blew the breath of life in all of us.  We all have a measure of God in us, no matter how bad or good we appear.  We need to recognize that he is in us, tap into the light; become one with the light.  Know  that it's God and he alone is in ultimate control.  Begin to allow the light to grow inside of us.  As the light grows our relationship is being developed.  When we understand that relationship, then and only then are we able to form all kinds of relationships.  Parent, Church, children, sibling, relatives, school teachers, college professors, friend, managers, employees, coworkers and husbands, wives, etc.

When we have developed relationships of this kind, we will understand the ground rules.  Most of us just give up trying to establish good relationship. I am unsure why we need great relationship to thrive and prosper with our brethren on planet earth.

What does God require of us, that we love him and each other.  Matt 22:37-40.  When we live our lives with God's principles, we will be satisfied in knowing that we are pleasing in his sight.  He is the first one we should try to please.  We spend our entire lifetime acquiring things; to find out that things do not make us happy maybe comfortable us for the moment.  Matt 16:26 NKJ.  God does not  mind us having things as long as the things don't have us.  We will do anything to get them and anything to keep them.  That is not the way God intended for us to live.  We must focus on the light, if we want inner peace.......and peace is what all of us seeks..
