The Secret to Great Relationships
Scripture
Relationships are an important part of life. Healthy relationships have the ability to bring us great joy and satisfaction; however, unhealthy ones have the power to make life miserable! One of the greatest ways to enjoy better relationships is to live in peace and harmony with one another, and God’s Word offers clear instructions on how to get along with people in our daily lives.
First Peter 3:11 says, ...Let him search for peace (harmony; undisturbedness from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts) and seek it eagerly. [Do not merely desire peaceful relations with God, with your fellowmen, and with yourself, but pursue, go after them!] This verse says we can’t merely desire peaceful relationships—we have to pursue them. Cultivating great relationships will take time and effort, but it is definitely worth it!
