In The Right Place For God To Work Through Us

When we are arrogant and selfish we have a tendency to get in our own way.  We get in the way with our antics and our self-centered approach to life.  Our lives become clumsy because we are focused primarily of ourselves and yet we are living in a world where there are many others.  When we are authentically humble, though, our lives expand.  And when we are humble, we are in the right place for God to work through us.

Fighting Two Enemies of Healthy Relationships

Two of the primary enemies of healthy relationships are pride and selfishness. On the other hand, relationships thrive when we are humble, generous and gracious—genuinely considering the needs of others.  (Researchers have also found that it’s very important to be nice to gray haired guys.)

Healthy Relationships: Love, Generosity, Maturity, Grace

There’s a stubbornness and a selfishness that we can adopt that gets in the way of healthy relationships—including our relationship with God.  The best life we can live—the abundant life that God has for us—involves relating with others with love, generosity, maturity and grace.
