THE LOST ART OF RELATIONSHIP
“Men sometimes speak as if humility and meekness would rob us of what is noble and bold and manlike. O that all would believe that this is the nobility of the kingdom of heaven, that this is the royal spirit that the King of heaven displayed, that this is Godlike, to humble oneself, to become the servant of all.”
Loving God helps us to know there is something so much bigger than us. It reminds us that without our Creator, life would not exist. Loving others helps us to understand we are not the only one God created. We are each unique and special to Him. If this is the case, we can love others, think of ourselves in sober judgment, and then truly focus on serving people, especially those in our own community. How are we exhibiting humility in our own relationships?
My actions do affect others…even those closest to me…especially those closest to me. There has to be emotional consent to share concerns or speak into another’s life which comes only by building a solid relationship of trust. And humility is key to sharing and receiving the truth. These are the relational lessons I learned from Brian.
