Today's session on relationships
So my key takeaways were that relationships are a form of wealth, as the people we connect with open doors to new opportunities. People pour into us and help us to grow.
It reminds me of iron sharpens iron.
Relationships are a vehicle of purpose. That was one of my biggest takeaways. Just as God uses people to draw us closer to our purpose or to Him, the enemy may do the same thing. And I saw how important it is to be mindful of that and to discern the relationships that we have with people, to understand the purpose of each relationship.
Apostle also mentioned that when we are dwelling in our emotions, it's difficult to hear God. Yes, which reminds me that it will be difficult for Him to actually use us as His vessels and it may actually affect another person's blessing or, should I rather say, another person's breakthrough.
The way I'm looking at it, it's like a domino effect.
And also, good relationships do not happen by chance. So it just reminds me to be more intentional with the people around us, the people that the Lord has entrusted us with. Also, to be considerate and to be intentional.
I think it comes down to being intentional in all the relationships that we have, even in the relationship that we have with the Father. I was just reflecting on how submitted I am to Him and on my relationship with the Holy Spirit, because for me, everything else flows from it.
Another takeaway for me was that it is okay to apologize first. In order to have a successful relationship, we cannot allow pride to creep in. We have to constantly check ourselves and practice humility.
Yeah, so overall, this session really taught me to be more intentional and to practice emotional intelligence, in order to have successful, intentional relationships with the people around me. And it also reminds me of the scripture that says we should esteem others higher than ourselves.
