What is missing in our relationships

I have a keen interest in this subject and I wonder how many of you have asked the same question. I have a spiritual philosophy and would like your take on it. I have included some questions for self reflection and to get the conversation going.


We interact with each other and the things around us but how many of these relationships build us?

PURPOSE OF THIS DISCUSSION: TO BUILD CHARACTER AND STRENGTHEN OUR RELATIONSHIPS

“LET’S TALK!”

The PROBLEM in our relationships:

WE DO NOT HAVE A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD (we do not know how to relate to God)
We restrict ourselves from gaining access to an infinite source of energy.
1. What is your definition of a relationship with God?
2. What challenges do you face in your relationship with God?


The SOLUTION to our relationships:

LEARNING TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD FIRST BEFORE WE CAN SUCCEED WITH OTHERS (reducing our ego)
Each one needs to be connected to an infinite source of energy.
3. How do you play your part in building a relationship with God?
4. What challenges do you face in building this relationship?


The personal EFFECT of having a relationship with God first

BUILDING CHARACTER, (we service the needs in our relationships in place of our ego /we follow the Word of God instead of our ego.)
When each one is connected to an infinite source of energy, we will stop consuming each other’s energy and learn to give to each other.
5 How do you build character?
6. What personal challenges do you experience in completing a given task?


The EFFECT building character has on our relationships:

STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS (developing sustainable relationships)
When we give service to our relationships, we maintain them.
7. How has your growth in character strengthened your relationships?
8. What challenges do you face in maintaining your relationships?
