The Key to Successful Relationships

April 28, 2019

Goal for this series: to build God-honouring Healthy Relationships
Four aspects that are vital to every relationship: personality, communication, conflict and adaptability.

To have loving God-honouring relationships, we need to know and understand ourselves and others.
1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, love each other deeply”

Empathy: It’s understanding, being aware of, and vicariously experiencing the thoughts and feelings of another.
“carry each other’s burdens” Gal 6:2
“rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn” Rom 12:15

Personality: an individual’s predispositions; their tendencies to think, feel and behave in a particular way.

Going Deeper
When was the last time you worked at putting yourself in another person’s shoes? when did you use your heart and your head to imagine what life must be like for them?

1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others”

Just as Jesus entered our world, we are invited to incarnate ourselves into the lives of others through empathy.
