Loving Relationship

The woman's meeting this year was fantastic! 
I've learned much and received much, now i am going to summarize it down to bless others.
The 5 building blocks to a Loving relationship is

1) Patience - accepting the imperfection in other people and allowing them to be imperfect, because we are all not perfect. 
Allow room for Grace, for mistake. Patience is being willing to listen emphatically.
People who are always impatient are always most impatient with themselve so learn to be patient with yourself. 
James 1 :2-4

2) Kindness- Putting people's need before yourself and simply for the sake of love.
Speak Kind words that build others up, not tear them down. 
Proverbs 18:2 ' Life and death is in the tongue'

3) Generousity- Giving yourself, your time, money, love and attention.
The world use people and love money.Lets learn to use money to love people.

4) Appreciation- start Appreciating  your family and your friends.
Broken relationship takes more time to repair than material possessions, so do not let any material possessions in the world hold a weight in your life. When you are angry, hold back and think. is it really worth it to quarrel, to hurt this relationship you have just because of some materialistic stuff?

5) Forgiveness
If there is someone who is unable to forgive, the 'thing' holding him back is Pride.If God can forgive, who do you think you are that you cant forgive?Let go of the past and move on. Unless you really let go of that ' Part' of the life, you cannot move on. Forgiveness removes all barriers, provides a platform for restoration and opens up possibilities. 

We love because God first love us, we forgive because God has forgiven us all. if we love with the human effort, it is limited and we expect returns.But if we love using the love of God, it is unconditional, unlimited, strong and don't expect returns from people. For God himself is Love.God will himself reward us :) He is the Richest among all!

Thank you Jesus, continue to lead me and guide me to the woman you created me to be. you will strengthen me with your word and wisdom. For anyone who is reading this, i just want to say Jesus loves you. you are not reading this by chance or by coincident. Everything happens for a purpose- his purpose.
