Previous Daily Devotional About regaining relationships others… 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. (NIV) Unselfishly regaining a relationship with others is first a matter of regaining yourself. Regaining yourself is a matter of losing yourself. Losing yourself means you lose your pride, lose your ego, and lose your selfishness. What separates us from others is the result of our own selfishness. What separates us from others is our sin. If you want to unselfishly regain a relationship with others, you must learn to push away your pride and ego. If you want to unselfishly regain a relationship with others, you must learn to be unselfish. To be truly unselfish, you must let all of your pride and ego be washed away in the love of Christ. In our relationships, we must be honest. We must always be honest. We must be honest about wanting others for ourselves rather than wanting others because they need us. God calls us to love others and to help them, not for ourselves, but for His glory and because others often need our help. When we are honest with ourselves about ourselves, we can then be honest with others. When we are honest with ourselves about ourselves, we can rebuild relationships by apologizing and eliminating the barriers our sin places in our relationships. |
