Designed for a Relationship

Posted by: andrew william, 22-Apr-2010

We are all designed to relate with one another, if we believe we are made in the image of God. If God himself needs a relationship with his created kind, then we who are made like him cannot function otherwise.

Why is it so crucial for students to be accepted by their friends in school? Why do they want to hang around the so-called popular crowd. Why do we like recognition, encouragement and attention?

Why is Face book and other friendship portals so popular? People want to be recognized, appreciated and known. When you go on a holiday you want to tell all your friends about it. Life is never fulfilled unless it is shared with someone, your joys, pain, successes and everything

We were made to relate with one another

Relationship ( I am not referring to a boy girl intimate relationship here, it’s a general relationship with one another ) is the source of all joys and also the source of all pains.

How do you handle offences? Do we curl up go into seclusion and decide we can just be on our own and relate with no one? That is not possible if you are human cause you were never designed that way.

Offences are one of the best ways to build a stronger relationship. When a friend is offended, his or her person nature inside has felt diminished or small. Even if it’s not your fault and you can justify offending the person, go to that person and apologies, his or her person nature inside will rise up again. I assure you, your relationship with that person will be much better than you had before the offence. Would you both get offended again? Yes, but you will have a better understanding of each other and your relationship can be much stronger.

A broken bone healed is far much more stronger than the other parts of the bone.

Have you lost a relationship with a friend, family member or a loved one? Make an effort to reconcile today, you will open up a whole new world of joy flooding back into your life and your friend’s.
