Relationships Are More Than You Think
Rev. Lady Diannia Baty ©

When I say the word relationship most people think of it as what occurs between two people but it is far more than that. We have so many relationships on an everyday basis but the most important one we have when we open our eyes is the day itself. We can declare that no matter what it will be joyful, productive and centered with God or we can bemoan our fate at another day to get through. We can see the magic that is all around or we can ignore the blessings that we have. Sadly many of us just don’t see all the abundance that we already have.

The second relationship we have is our body. We go to the bathroom and brush our teeth and start to get ready for the day. Everything we do is in relationship with us and us with it whatever it is. What is your relationship with your teeth for example? Are you flossing or ignoring them hoping for the best? When you go into the kitchen are you skipping breakfast or eating fatty foods that are bad for you? How are you treating your body? What is your relationship with it? Are you in tune with it? Are you full of stress and having one too many glasses of wine and way too much fast food? Is that pain you feel from time to time that you call gas really a sign post that your ticker is in trouble?

Now what about your car, motorcycle or bike? What are you using for transportation and how are you treating it? Is the car’s floorboard an impossible thing to see? Is it covered with trash and papers? Do the windshield wipers need to be changed? When was the last time you got an oil change? What is your relationship with your car? If you treat the car well it will treat you well.

Do you have a pet or several of them? Do you take the time to train them, feed them properly and exercise them? Do you give them kind loving attention? How do you interact with them? Do you have them chained to a tree and sometimes forget to even feed them? However you treat them it will come back to you in one way or another.

Everything in your life, you have a relationship with. The quality of the relationship will determine the quality of your life.
Now let’s go into your relationships with people. Your spouses, children, family, friends, co-workers and those you meet everyday like the store clerk or a waitress serving you are all people you have a relationship with. Are you friendly, open and loving? Do you take the time to listen to them? Are you respectful and kind? Are you gruff or rude? How do you interact with them?

Do you take it all for granted?
Is your life a constant struggle or does it run smoothly? Are you depressed or joyful? Are you full of gratitude or are you complaining about what you don’t have?
It is time to take stock of your life and all your relationships. How are they doing? Really?

The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with God. Do you give this relationship the time and attention you should? Is God an afterthought or you only turn to God when times are bad or difficult. Do you have conversations with God to say hello and I love you? Do you tell God how grateful you are for your life? Do you have conversations with God to tell your creator how everything is going and where you need assistance and guidance? Do you do the opposite and complain and whine to God and then tell everyone who will listen that God doesn’t answer your prayers and you don’t know if God even exists?

God lives within and in this moment and not in the past or the future. God exists within your very DNA and your cells. God is in you! God is with you every second of your life and beyond. God is constantly listening and sending you messages. Have you learned to listen? Are you friendly, open and loving toward God? What is the effort you put forth for this relationship to endure and be fruitful? Is it only once a week when you go to church? Do you take God seriously?

More importantly have you taken the time and effort to know yourself and what makes you tick and what your issues are that must be changed? What are people telling you about you? Are you listening?

Do you think you know it all and have all the answers? If you do then it is time to stop yourself cold and start all over again.

Life experiences will continue to show up as signposts that there is something you need to pay attention to. If you don’t pay attention then they will just keep re-occurring. Are you noticing that the same things keep happening over and over?
Life is truly what you make it. What you put out in thought, word, action and deed will be returned back to you. This is the universal law of attraction.
There are no exceptions to it.

It is what it is. If you desire a better more peaceful abundant life, then get busy and take stock of your relationships and be fully present to them. The spiritual magic that starts to take place will be glorious beyond belief. I can only speak for myself and that is to tell you that my life is full of spiritual magic and joy. Every day is beautiful and full of blessings. Now is the time to get busy and make some changes as the energetic shifts that are taking place on our world are getting more intense and your issues will be in your face much stronger than ever before. There is a calling afoot to invite in Gods grace and acknowledge the oneness with the earth and all your fellow sisters and brothers.

That uneasiness and longing you feel is to get back and with your creator. You are feeling a calling to know that you are not separate from Spirit and never have been. You are being prompted to get back to your spiritual home.
There are knocks on your consciousness constantly. Acknowledge them.
In whatever form it comes, pay attention.

Knock and the door will be opened but more importantly when something knocks answer it. It is time to show up and be counted. Becoming the highest and best version of you is needed. Will you be present to it? Will you participate? You do matter and you do count. Your uniqueness and your gifts need to be shared and not locked away in desperate mediocrity. It will all be over someday. Your physical body will pass away. What are you leaving behind? What is your legacy going to be like? This is just something to think about.
