Sharing in a relationship

It is in God's design of love that we share everything we have gained. Anything that we keep for ourselves in the awakening of another's need will grow our ego. The spirit of God cannot find a place to abide in a heart with an active ego.

An oportunity

An opportunity is not a door that one opens but a door another opens for you. The receiver's responsibility is to pray to see the open door and to be prepared to walk through it.God designed it this way to build humility in the heart of the one who opens the door for another and the one who recognizes the act of God's Grace and Mercy by accepting the opportunity.

Practice Love

We can only remember what we practice. What we practice is who we become. Practice love in order to become love.

Maturity in a relationship

We develop through four phases in a relationship. In the first phase, we focus on getting what we want from the relationship; we consume energy. In the second phase, we discover what we need to commit to the relationship in order to make it grow. In the third phase we learn to sacrifice the ego in order to serve the relationship; we give energy. In the fourth phase, we become love.

Self perception in relationships

A point of contention develops in a relationship when one fails to identify with another. Trying to change another to suit one's self perception of whom they are or ought to be creates conflict of personalities.

Awakening

Life is a journey of awakening that takes one through four phases. First, one awakens to self; understanding one's self in relation to others. Secondly, one awakens to others; understanding others in relation to one's self. Thirdly, one awakens to God; understanding love and fourthly, one awakens to eternal life, becoming love. Each one is experiencing a different stage of evolution. Others are still asleep.

Purpose of relationships

We do not enter relationships to complete each other, but to support one another to develop into wholesome individuals; completely connected to God. Only One who is Holy will make one whole and through God, we become connected.
