Meditations on "Relationship"

God is greater than any problem we may face, and we can truly be secure in the fact that God will take care of us.

Through Jesus, we are invited to a relationship with God. As we respond to God’s unfailing love and care for us, we will find friendship, peace, and security. That security will help us grow strong and enable us to be a loving and caring friend to others.

God knows we are unable to find the way of peace on our own, so He accompanies us and guides us to it.

We need the continued care and guidance of God to learn how to come alongside people and work co-operatively towards common goals.

It’s time to give up the tunnel vision of first looking to our own interests and, only when it is convenient, looking to the interests of others. Most important, it is time to give our energy and attention to God’s interests, because we will then experience the blessing of right relationship with Him and with others.

God’s plan has always been that we share our lives with one another.

We are created to serve God and bring joy and blessing to others. God promises to help us. Are you and I willing to step forward confident in who God says we are? Are we willing to follow His ways and the plan He has for each of us?

As we live in His will, we discover that whatever the cause of our anxiety, God is available to help us face any issues head on and overcome the challenges they may bring.

True friends watch out for each other, share with each other, and even make sacrifices for each other.

God’s unfailing love throughout our recovery is powerful enough to sustain us and help us overcome evil.

Today is a day to honour Fathers. Some of us are Fathers. All of us have a Father. The relationship of a loving Father to his child is a picture of God's heart for us.

As we spend time with God each day and practice His teachings, He gives us a discerning heart to know His ways.
