Relationships With Children
(How To Be Sure Your Children Are Blessed)

Colossians 3:21 "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." 
Proverbs 20:7 "The just man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.(by his example)."

A Question on Relationships With Children

What causes one to become a pedophile?

Sometimes a reprimand is only a grouch in disguise; however, remember that those whose lives you have touched and those whom have touched yours are a part of you, even if the encounters were less than what one would have wished. It's the content of the encounter that is more important than its immediate form.

Many people are simply just unskilled in how to say things and especially so when it comes to children.

Relationships With Others

"Everyone else is just another version of the self. This is because through mirror of relationships we discover ourselves."....Deepak Chopra

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."....Oscar Wilde. Proverbs 25:17 "Withdraw your foot from your neighbour's house, lest he be weary of you and so hate you."

Being involved with others is important for furthering your social abilities and for theirs too:.Titus 1:8 "But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate.".Be excited about others doing their best and express this to them because it's encouraging to them and supports them in their good ideas.

With anyone of any age, always ask yourself if you can gain anything from the conversational engagement, which of course is the first thing two people engage in when getting to know each other.

In relations with others, be alert to their stance, their beliefs. Some people espouse.mistaken.beliefs. And some are dissimulators. How can you know these types of people:.Psalms 21:8.

The only place one ever really meets another is at a place of love in the heart. This is where rapport begins. In life we seek this in all we meet, even risking again and again for it after being bitten a few times. And what if you just can't get along with others or another? Or, maybe they just don't like you and for some unknown reason, you are avoided by them? What to do.

Are your actions worthy of eliciting praise from others? Are you a comfort to others, a help to them? When you leave them, do you think they appreciated your little visit?.Proverbs 25:17. Are you one of the reasons others believe love exists in the world? Do you add to high standards or are you an ethical.vacillator? Do others have low or high expectations of you? Do you let others down or lift them up? How?.Philippians 2:3. And do you see God in others, that is, aware of the possibity of their soul connection with God?

What higher consciousness thoughts are you aware of and how does one develop them, becoming a better individual in the process?...

A first sign of suicide is withdrawal from involvement with others; even withdrawal from what the self once was, the individual becomes 'strange', different sort of, unusual in a retrogressive way and enters a new world of the mind's own making, a new world with a big door keeping others out, yet allowing negatives in to rule him or her. It's an evil. Guess who is behind it:.Revelation 12:9. See the true story movie Into The Wild.(library and/or search Intenet).for not only spectacular scenery, but a heart tugger as well, many of us can relate to.

Even behind a smile can be such sadness:.Proverbs 14:13.
   If you sense this in another, be as kind as you can and when you get home and before bedtime, have a short talk with the Infinite, which is the same as simply asking yourself about your concerns about the individual, because the Creator is in you:.John 17:26. See what the Infinite does and/or brings to your mind.(*).

The real gentleman or lady is one who is courteous and affable without trying to sell you something! 

A gentle individual is not occupied with the self.

Consideration is the mark of a gentleman, but there are hundreds of ways not to be! 

Each time you gain an advantage at another's expense, you ensure your own future loss, someway, somehow.

Because some things may appear not as they seem, they should be left unseen. Don't be a digger. Be a friend.

It is important to be doing things with others:.1John 1:7; 2Corinthians 8:4; Acts 2:42. Do things people like. Avoid doing what they do not like. As much as possible try to live peaceably with all:.Romans 12:18.

Doing things with others is part of life and provides opportunity to learn to get along considering how different we all are.

Relations with others can be trying at times. But, avoid those who are of angry nature:.Proverbs 22:24,25 "Make no friendship.(original is 'feed', 'shepherd', 'companion', 'entreat', 'eat', 'pasture', 'tend'; in other words, 'don't waste your time trying to be of help to him or her).with an angry.(original is 'to be displeased', 'breathing hard'; hot and determined in his ego ways).man and with a furious man do not go.(don't hang around with such types, it'll do you no good), Lest you learn his ways and get a snare to your soul."

Relationships are important. A study done between two towns close together, both eating much the same food and seeing their same doctors; one town, Roseto, Pennsylvania; the other, Bangor. 

Roseto had a much lower incidence of heart disease according to Dr. Jeffrey Milliken, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at HCI. The difference was that Roseto was a tight knit Italian immigrant community with strong family and community relationships. The spiritual heart does affect the physical heart. Having loving relationships are most important. You know the old saying: Whatever's eating you mentally, will soon eat you physically! And that's because of the blood having been poisoned. How?

The heart is not a pump. It's a series of valves which open and close from the alterations of pressure of the gel we call blood, moving through them.

The Creator can give you favor in another's eyes. If He is not, then there is something there for you to learn to improve and that always involves the art of love. We all are here to learn from being around all kinds of people, from difficult to docile. Learn what? 

Without the right character you may be inept in handling the power you will have as a resurrected being.(1Corinthians 2:9), a member of the God family. The main thing that's going to get you an either 30, 60 or 100 fold reward has to do with what you do here with what you know to do and in this, He is purging you to bring forth even more fruit:.John 15:2 ".....every branch that bears fruit, he purges.(original is 'cleanse').it, that it may bring forth more fruit." Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Emmanuel unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.".That is why life here is not easy for any of us, but possible. We all strongly seek comfort and security, not realizing that His nature in us is our comfort:.2Corinthians 1:4..And this is our security.

There is a key to maintaining a loving relationship: Jacob, who was Abraham's grandson by Isaac. The name Jacob is also a synonym for the name he was later given.(Genesis 32:28), which name was Israel. The name Jacob is often used in the Bible for the nation of Israel, that is, the descendants of him having grown into a whole nation, expanded to now be a spiritual nation

The nation Israel had split into two nations, the other nation being Judah. Jacob (who was renamed Israel) had a trying life. He was hated by his brother Esau, for awhile:.Genesis 27:41.

Esau's bloodline carried on to today, causing major problems in the world we know. This was all of God, for the great good reasons God has. Learn about it.

Jacob's mother, Rebekah.(husband, Isaac), spurred Jacob to leave home for his safety:.Genesis 27:42-45.

Jacob was a loving man. He generally cared for his obstreperous brother and wanted to share the wealth he had accumulated since leaving home, so he sent word to his brother Esau:.Genesis 32:3-5.

The.very.interesting aside story of what happened to Jacob between leaving home and before sending for Esau his brother, is here.

So what happened when Jacob and Esau finally did meet, long after Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of red lentils, because he was hungry and loved red lentils?

The messengers Jacob sent returned to him and told him his brother was coming with four hundred men. All the thoughts about the hate Esau had for Jacob must have been ringing through Jacob's mind again:.Genesis 32:6-8. Jacob was very concerned, remembering how he had to leave home for fear of his life:.Genesis 32:9,11.

Jacob and Esau's mom Rebekah.(Genesis 27:5-17).was the reason for the hate of Esau toward his brother Jacob. So, she wasn't the best of moms. But behind the scenes it was God working it all out for reasons that carry on down to us today. The story:.Genesis chapter 27. And its outcome.

Jacob was so upset that his brother and four hundred men were coming to see him, that he even had a present arranged for his brother Esau when he was to come:.Genesis 32:13. Jacob was anxious to show his kindness and love that he had for Esau and just wanted his brother Esau to love him at this time in his life:.Genesis 32:14-20. He was also scared as his brother became powerful and had many warriors with him. Jacob himself was always totally forgiving of any wrongs done to him, such as when he was tricked by his uncle Laban.

Earlier Jacob was out to trick his brother Esau with the help of his mom. And all this was in God's plans for the future peoples that came out of Esau and Jacob.

So the time comes when Esau meets Jacob..Jacob in humility and some fear, no doubt, bows to the ground when he sees Esau:.Genesis 33:1-3. But Esau was different now. He wasn't out to harm his brother as before:.Genesis 33:4-7

Esau had become somewhat like Jacob during the interim:.Genesis 33:9-11. Lesson being, the good effect you wanted for others may take a long time to be seen.(*), but it will have a good effect. Why it may?

Will it be the same today with the line of Esau causing so many heartaches for those having the same attitude and good bloodline as ancient Jacob? Many think so, because if it's of God, it'll have a good outcome, even though it is wrenchingly difficult at times.

Jacob was the type of individual to go to great lengths to ensure a harmonious relationship and had great respect even for this brother of his:.Genesis 33:8. Jacob was generous:.Genesis 33:11. Jacob was a true gentleman. A gentleman test! But when he wants something he can be devious, as he was with the bowl of lentils to get the birthright from his brother Esau. He probably was like this because of God urging him and his mother too. God was working out some plan here, unseen to all at the time. Men may have plots but God always has a plan.

Think of the ways God is.not.working in.your.life. In your quiet time, think about this. Some will answer with, 'My son died, so God didn't heal him. Others, My life and relationships all went to hell, where was God? And many similar stories.

So, God left you when you needed his help the most, right? Why, when God says this?.Hebrews 13:5 "...I will never leave you, nor forsake you.".Could it be this?.Jeremiah 6:10.

And the key to it all. Look beyond the physical. Look deeply into others, but don't probe with questions. Jacob had looked beyond what his brother had caused, what with him.(Jacob).having to leave home and had to also look beyond all the hate Esau had for him and saw only God in him:.Genesis 33:10. This made the difference in the relationship:.Deuteronomy 23:7 "You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land."

Try to see the value in others that the Creator sees; that each individual is valuable enough for God to have come here in the flesh to die for, in order to enable them to aspire toward a wonderful future. With this attitude you won't exclude yourself from regular fellowship to socialize.

This long standing attitude of love and concern for Esau was obviously blessed by God as Esau had changed from hate to love for Jacob. God can cause hearts to change:.Proverbs 16:7.
