As His Own Soul (V).
"Then Jonathan and David made a
covenant, because he loved him as his own
soul." (I Samuel 18:3).
A careful look around will show that
everybody is searching for the 'right'
kind of relationship: the 'right'
business partner, the 'right' life
partner, the 'right' kind of tenant,
employee, or even church members. The problem
here is that we all are looking for the right
relationship, but nobody wants to relate the
right way! If you are seeking for the
right, then you have to be the right.
Your ability to relate with people
the right way will determine to a large
extent what you can get out of them.
Permit me at this point to use an
acronym, taking the six letters in the word
RELATE to further elucidate how to
effectively relate with one another:
R... Recognize your own
shortcomings, inadequacies, and human
frailties. You may be awesome as an
individual, but you are by no means perfect!
E... Evaluate the other
person's worth;
you will value a relationship only if you
know the other person's worth.
L... Love unfeigned must
be the basis
of every genuine relationship.
A... Attend to the communion;
relationships are like tender plants, they
will grow if watered, fertilized and tended
to. A lot of relationships die a natural
death because they are left unattended to:
Make a phone call, send a mail, or text
message, pay a visit; for God's sake do
something if you really desire for that
relationship to thrive.
T... Truth must always be
your
watchword in your dealings with others. Deal
truthfully, and with integrity.
E... Extol the qualities
of others.
Celebrate and esteem one another; when you do
this, it causes the bond to get stronger, and
the Scriptures are fulfilled.
Let me conclude this sharing by putting
before us 5 salient things to remember in
intimate relationships:
1. Intimacy must be earned and
not freely
given. It must only be given as a reward for
proven loyalty (I Thess. 5:12-13; John 15:13-14).
2. When the wrong people leave
your life,
wrong things will stop happening. (Jonah
1:15).
3. When the right people enter
your life,
right things will begin to happen. (John
4:4-30).
4. If you fail to guard your
life, you
become like a city without walls i.e. a
dumping ground. (Pr.25:28).
5. Failure occurs when the
wrong person
starts getting too close to you. (Judg.
16:4).
Make smile your style!
Your face telegraphs your attitude
towards
life, towards others, and towards yourself.
Your countenance creates a climate that
either attracts or repels people away from
you. When you smile first, you decide the
direction the relationship will go.
"A man that hath friends
must show himself
friendly..." (Proverbs 18:24a).
