Building relationships

One of the most difficult tasks is developing lasting relationships that reflect the image of God.  In Philippians 2:5-11, Paul explains what God wants to see in relationships with Him and with others. 

Be HUMBLE before God - remember He is all powerful and all knowing.  I have no reason to be proud of anything I am or I accomplish because I can do nothing under my own power.
CONSIDER others before yourself.  Seek to honor and help others always.
Be a SERVANT.  Willingly give of your time and efforts to others working for their betterment.s
Be OBEDIENT following the guidance of God to the point of total sacrifice of yourself - would you give your life for another person?  Jesus did - He gave His life so that we might gain a pure Holy relationship with the Mighty Triune God.
SEEK to follow the Word - study the Word of God daily, asking for Him to reveal Himself to you through His Word.  Now apply what you have learned every opportunity you are given.

Climb to the highest mountain and rejoice in the Power of God.

Give thanks to the Lord always.  

Where have you been?

 Have you asked that question of friends, family, classmates, the doctor, the minister, or maybe a complete stranger? BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God?  The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication.  In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans.  June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write:                                     I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,                                     and the voice I hear falling on my ear,                                 ...
