Pray this year ends well....

Hi friends, brothers and sisters, I pray this year ends well for each of us. Pray the Lord will help us forgive those who hurt us, forget the pain that came our way, say sorry to those we hurt. It's sad precious, vital relationships on earth end over misunderstanding, lack of communication, ego, pride and refusing to hear the truth. If only they had taken time to find out the truth, spend quality time with each other and understand many relationships will stay on! If people are really valued a relationship they sure would take time to mend, build and heal broken relationships.  If the friendships and relationships we share with each other has been good, meaningful, Christ-centered, why would  misunderstandings, disagreements wipe out all the good memories? Christ's love in our hearts should sure  help us love at all times. Prov 17:17 says, " A friend loves at all times," I know it takes a lot of understanding, trust and time,to build a strong relationship with our spouse, kids and friends. And if our relationship is based on Christ we sure will not call it quits when the going gets tough. What kind of a relationship we are in with the ones we love?  'The greatest evidence of genuine friendship or relationship is loyalty (loving at all times). True Godly love, as said in 1 CORINTHIANS 13:7"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." One thing I've learnt, in any relationship we should have a genuine desire to give, with minimal expectations to receive.

Someone said, "Life does-not give us people we want; instead it gives us people we need, to love us, to hurt us but finally to make us exactly how God wants us to be."

People in our lives are precious let's value them.

                Every relationship on earth, helps us to learn more lessons and make us stronger individuals.

Any relationships that are Christ based, never dies.

 If a relationship was true God can restore it.

Are you struggling in a relationship with your kid, sibling, spouse, parents, friends?

Lost a loved one to misunderstanding?

Don't give up hope. Our Heavenly Father, is a God of restoration.

" Trust the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)

JESUS helps to build bridges and not walls.

He gives live and life abundant.

When we have a misunderstanding with a loved one, let's reach out and try to find out what the truth is. Let us be willing to talk and listen.

Let's be willing to be transparent and open in relationships we value.

If we judge without knowing the truth and choose to walk away angrily without a word, we will end up loosing valuable relationships.

Let's pray the Lord's love will always rule and reign in our hearts.

Let's not give up on people who fail to understand us. Let's be willing to say "Sorry" when we hurt people.

Let's always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and let us seek His help to remove all anger and resentment from our midst us.

PSALM 133: 1 How good and pleasant it is
       when brothers live together in unity!

 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
       running down on the beard,
       running down on Aaron's beard,
       down upon the collar of his robes.

 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
       were falling on Mount Zion.
       For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
       even life forevermore.

David states here that unity is pleasant and precious.

It takes years to build a valuable relationship. Let's not allow disagreement, misunderstandings break the unity.

We believers are called to live in unity. Unity does not mean we have to agree on everything but it's learning to walk together and helping each other. 

YSIC,

Something I read that blessed me:

True love/friendship gives without expecting anything...in return.

It's letting go of all expectation.

It's building bridges and not walls.

It's speaking the truth in love.

It's never lost by loving..but by holding back.

And...

True love/friendship...

Is not how you forget but how you forgive...

Is not how you listen but how you understand...

Is not how you see but how you feel..

Is not how to let go of it but how you hold on to it,

Is not the urge to shut away but keeping your heart open.

JESUS YOU ARE MY  BEST FRIEND WHO'S ALWAYS TRUE!

"Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve
your blessings in stone."
