* Love one another. As I have loved you. John 13:34
* Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other Ephesians 4:32
* Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Colossians 3:13
* Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Romans 12:10
* Encourage one another and build each other up. I Thessalonians 5:11
* Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21
The Scripture calls for it repeatedly (as we see in the above verses) to be right in our relationships with one another. Doing so however is really tough. Relationships are complicated; no denying that.
May be when we were children it was possible for us to love all unconditionally. But over the years as we get older, day by day there is a subtle change in us; keeping us away from friends/family members/in-laws/neighbors/church members/strangers who are not in tune with us.
We make every effort to stay clear of further bonding. We drift aloof and indifferent from their company, which of course we can justify from every possible angle. But the question is: Are we okay in our relationship with God then?
We would like to answer a beaming "YES!" But won't we be fooling ourselves if we did?! In the coming days over the coffee table let us wait to hear from the Lord to lead us in the paths of righteousness.
Let us look forward to rebuilding our relationships with one another, in Christ. Stay tuned. God bless you all!

I am struggling in loving someone as God loves me, another woman who I think my husband is lustful for, whom I continue to call my friend. My husband tells me he loves me, and denies anything I ask about her. I want her out of my life but somehow she is always around. I don't want to be mean or hurtful to her but I have an uneasy feeling about her. and I don't trust her. I read your blog this morning with a heavy heart because, as a wife, I feel I can't love another as God loves me. I would rather be angry, and revengeful.
Dear Anonymous: Fall in love with the Lord all over again. Know that His love for you is unconditional. Everything else fades in comparison to what He has to offer.
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:3-4
May the love of God and the peace from above completely embrace you this very moment. You shall see the deliverance very soon. Absolutely no doubt about it.
Cheers my sister! The joy of the Lord is our strength!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
