Improving Any Difficult Relationship

Life deals everyone difficult challenges. Do we choose to become cynical or do we choose to live with grace? Cynicism creates a character of judgment and division. Cynicism can also generate great disparagement, which affects relationships. Grace promotes a character of love, acceptance, compassion and goodwill influencing intimate relationships.

It is difficult to turn the cheek when someone close behaves in a less than considerate manner. Coping with other’s reactions and behavior toward us is one of the most challenging aspects of one life; however how we respond inwardly affects our outward expression. We say and act what we think and feel. At times this may seem impossible to move through gracefully. We need a safe place to land, a quiet time to pass through the thoughts and feelings without the risk of adverse reaction toward others. Time Out can be a blessing. In our busy lives and busy minds we often miss this and the consequences can be unhealthy for our soul and for our relationships.

• Do you feel this would help your relationships?
  Give it a try.......!
• How do you react to disrespect or lack of compassion?
• Could you learn to be more gracious and less cynical?
  
  
  

Feeling Valued Is Tricky

Many people struggle in life trying to be heard. How many of you feel that none really knows the real you?
It is hard to be accepted for the real person inside. Feeling valued is tricky. Should you be judging yourself by the attitude of others? Ah I hear you say “ of coarse not” But do you? For me knowing that God sees who is side and loves me has been the key to my peace. No matter what others do or say I know who I am and I am OK with her.

Remembering that people react differently and that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with your value to be loved. It can often be their lack of self-value that makes them behave badly toward you. Showing more love to others, making that extra effort can improve relationships tremendously. It is called Grace everyone. Grace is a wonderful word that should be kept in the forefront of our minds. Maybe then the world would a lot more love in general.
