In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
When you think about the relationships that you have, do you go into all of them with the same mindset as Christ Jesus? Relationships are hard, and it is something that I struggle with regularly. I have certain individuals that I can call close personal friends, my family is my number one relationship that I tend to try and work on daily, and sometimes I wonder how successful I am. The thing about relationships and strengthening them is that they require attention. The attention to detail, the focus on communication, the clearness of our intentions, and the true love of God behind us and our role in these relationships. There is no self-help book that can grow a relationship, while there are tools to assist, the true way to grow a relationship is having God with us and allowing Him to work through us. If we ignore the example that Jesus gave in his relationships, we are not going to get very far. So, in your relationships you have, whether they are spouses, kids, friends, extended family or the annoying co-worker, look to God to guide you in your relationship building and know that He has set the perfect example.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
