21 Days of Rightful Relationships نموونە

Day 18 –Searching for love in all the wrong places

When I really pursued God, my worries regarding relationships finally came to an end. I was no longer worried if a relationship would work out. As a matter of fact, I pulled away from many relationships so that I could clearly hear from God. I finally came to a point where I wanted all of my relationships to be divinely connected by God.

So, I began to seek Him. I mean really seek Him. I would create appointments or dates with God to set aside time where I could read and study my Word. This is where I began to truly conquer relationships. It was through His love and mercy that I finally had the ability to decipher between good and Godly choices.

Not only was I able to discern the right relationships He had for my life, I was able to build better ones. I was finally in a place where I knew how to connect with those who meant the most to me. I committed to listen more, to put my selfish desires aside and pray for my loved ones daily. I now consider my loved ones’ needs. And finally, I pray for our relationships more, simply asking God to maintain them so the devil does not destroy our connections.

Get into His Word

During my time of getting to know God, I began to see my relationship concerns through His eyes. Before this time, my thoughts were heavy and I was often running on “autopilot.” I would allow anyone to enter my inner circle without first seeking Him. As a result, I would wonder why a business or personal connection would fail or why certain relationships did not turn out as I desired.

But then God made something very clear to me. He will not withhold any good thing from me (Psalm 84:11)! Also, He said rest in my pavilion and I will protect you from dangers (Psalm 27:5). Wow! God is telling us what He has for us is simply for us. Therefore, if a relationship is not working out, understand that this relationship may not be a part of His plan for you or this may not be the time. Continue to read and obey His Word and the right relationships will begin to foster.
