The Secret to Great Relationships

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! Throughout my life, God’s Word has taught me so many great lessons about relationships, but I think one of the greatest lessons is this: Choose to live in peace with others.

Simply put, it’s God’s will for us to live in peace and harmony with one another, and His Word offers clear instructions on how to get along with people in our daily lives. First Peter 3:11 (AMPC) 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!]. We can’t merely desire peaceful relationships—we have to pursue them!
