The issue of relationship is what I would call "the Pivot of Life"; every other thing hinges on it. Life is all about relationships; you relate with people everyday, everywhere and everytime. As a matter of fact, the tangibility of your relationship with people and yourself (yes your relationship with you) goes a long way in describing your personality and even goes further to say something about your future.
Now this is something that worries me about the today's society. The society is actually a bigger picture/a refection of the quality of our relationships. There is so much going on in the society today and this is an indication that there is something wrong with how we relate with ourselves/one another.
I know we relate/build relationships with people almost very easily but the success of these relationships has a greater determinant that we fail to recognise.
Ps 24:1 helps us to understand that the earth belongs to the Lord, and everything in it- the world and all its people.
Yes 'The Lord God' is this greater determinant of any successful relationship yet many of us do not have a relationship with Him let alone have a good one. Do you know that success with Him is success in all?
Having a relationship with God (a progressive one) is what helps you in your relationship with His creation. How do you think a person who doesn't value the Creator will relate with the 'created'? Likewise right!
Is there any other reason that explains why people expect religious people to be the best other than this? I doubt. It is believed that since we relate well enough with Him then we ought to behave like Him and this belief is not wrong. Our relationship with other people speaks volume about our relationship with God and vice versa.
Going forward...Because we are social beings and must relate with ourselves (remember no man is an Island), lets determine to have better relationships. Note that this goal is only achievable by having a relationship(better one) with God.
Yours Truly.
