RelatiosHip(5)-Sustaining Relatioships

RELATIONSHIP(5)-Sustaining a Relationship
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Many a time we fail in sustaining a relationship..Have you ever wondered,why murder is happening in the world,why wars??
Why divorces..??why hatred..??People do not sustain the relationship..THE FIRST LOVE IS LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With my limited knowledge let me lean on His grace to impress some thoughts on How to sustain a relationship..
LET ME TELL YOU
1)RESPECT...........To sustain a relationship we need to respect one another..
There is a saying"Give Respect and take Respect"....Our lives should be worthy of respect..
RElationships however "CLOSE" should RESPECT one another and their feelings.
Rom 12:10.Honor one another above yourselves
2)ENCOURAGEMENT........Relationships never should be taeraing down..but it should build one another...
Encouraging one another..Lifting one another always leaves a mark....
3)Love-As i Told perfect love should not only the starting of a relation but it should continue..

4)Adaptability:Its natural that through our relationships,misunderstandings camn happen...circumstances may not be the same always..its our duty to adapt as per the change imposed.
Adaptablity is very important in sustaining a relationship..So i have heard in marriages where the couple telling./.."In better and worse,in richness and poverty,in sickeness and in health" to cherish one another.
Not only in marital life..this can be extended across all possbile relationships.

5)Trust;Trustuing one another is very important....We should have so much confidence in our relationships..Relationships should be based on a determination that will make it work!!
Even God expects the trust of His children so much...When we trust one another we feel so good!!

6)Influence:In sustaining a relationship,the influnce we have amongst this is so vital.I have heard of children who have lost the love of their parents and they dont feel like loving them,because of the negative influence they have had on the children.
In our relationships...is selfishness taking a prime place...Is it our dreams that we want to fulfil..Do we have the heart to look into the lives of others and what is the influence we have on them..If it is negative..lets correct it..Ask the Holy Ghost to fill you
with His power in exerting a postive influence,

7)Openness:Our lives should be transparent...should be also open to change..As we are transparent and ready always for the betterment of anything..our relationships can sustain

8)NO to ego ,No to anything that breaks relationship..SAY NO To the things that harm a best relationship..
THESE points are summarized in the Word"RELATION"...

Above all trust in the almighty God..Let Him be the LORD of our relationships...
When He dictates ..everything absolutely everything will fall in place;-)

"Guard your heart with all diligence,for out of it flows issues of Life"
Father I pray for thy child who took time to read what thou wanted to say to them.Lord be the Lord of our relationships..Rule every aspect of that.
May broken relatioships be mended in Jesus name..Aid us by thy Spirit ..to be like you O Lord..Mould us and make us..
Thank you Lord..
In Jesus name we pray
Amen
