I teach a spiritual development class every Wednesday night and this month we are concentrating on relationships.
Everything is a relationship of some form or another. We have relationships with our cars, pets, gardens, homes, clothes etc. The list is endless. Of course the most important relationship is the one we have with our God and then ourselves and then and only then everyone else.
Too many of us have this all backwards and that is where the trouble comes in. How can you have a healthy authentic relationship with another person if you do not have one with yourself.
It is important to know who you are and what makes you happy or sad. What do you like or dislike. What kind of food or movies are your preference? Simple questions but the sad truth is we are way too willing to concentrate on the needs of others and put ourselves and God last on the list of priorities.
God should be first because without a relationship with your creator nothing else will work right. But most of you know that already , don't you?
