Okay, the YISS post was super delayed. but anyway, I kinda just felt like something asking me to post this post. so yeah. I guess, lasting relationships, doesnt just appear like *poof!* like that. I believe relationships have many factors, and its no easy feat being able to withstand the other party throwing tantrums, screaming and shouting at you and even hitting you. Therefore...
When I was just walking back just now, and it suddenly struck me. like the 3 'G's to a relationship.
First and foremost,
God-centred.
Always keep relationships focused on God so that our thoughts and actions may not run astray. As God IS love. Without God, what love is there?
Secondly,
Good Ground.
As a house must have good foundation to withstand storms, so must a relationship have a good friendship. Often, relationships dont work out as people fail to understand the other party well enough before going into the relationship. Okay, I know this is supposed to be the pre-relationship one, but yeah. Without a good base, the rest of the relationship is merely resting on unstable ground and may just fall apart. so its impt too. you get the drift.
Last but not least,
Giving. Cos love, IS giving.
"But love [agape] your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." (Luke 6:35)
I know its about your enemies, but it applies too. When you love, its about the giving and not the receiving. and when you give, you shouldnt expect anything in return. As these expectations leads to disappointments should they not be met and yeah..you get the point.
So yeah, thats all! God bless!
