A Guide to Learning How to Love
This is a very vague guide and I admit that. Yet, it is also very simple. Since I first got into ministry, 1997, I’ve learned a lot about the Lord, and people. Often people notice that they have trouble with the many different relationships they have. This is a lot of a pastor’s ministry; helping people to become “better” in the relationships that they have.
The relationships that we have with each other are very important. However, some are more important than others. You will see this in this little guide I have.
Often people have trouble with their heart feeling right in their relationships. This can be helped by the Holy Spirit working with His people to change. I like to think of it like this . . . He brings the change to pass, but our part is to set our minds and hearts on what is acceptable to God.
So here is a priority list that may be helpful for people who want to do a better job of loving in their relationship with God and others.
Priority list
- Jesus
- Spouse
- Children
- Church
- Job
- Friends
- Money
There may better listings. Nevertheless, this seems workable. Notice that often, people flip-flop this in their lives. Those who flip-flop this list are both those who attend and do not attend church. I believe that our troubles with relationships would be decreased greatly if people lived by this simple list. In this list, we can see the proper place of money. Money should not be valued more than those ahead of it.
Just a thought. Blessings.
