My relationship with the Lord was started by the Lord and not with me. It is initiated by the Lord. He loved me first, He chose me first. He created me with this intention – a relationship with Him so that He can just love me unconditionally. He supplied all my needs and this includes my family and all the people around me. It was because of my relationship with Him that I have my relationship with other people. If He did not start this then I will just be existing and not living.
I realized that in order for these relationships to be nurturing, these have to be founded on God – the God who is in 3 persons. It is the dynamics and the mystery of the 3 persons that best exemplify the fullness of a relationship. If ever I am challenged in any of it, the best way to get back on track is to look at the Trinitarian love make it the basis.
“Lord, thank you for coming in 3 persons, thank you for loving me first. May I always allow you to love me in whatever situation I am in; may I see your love in every second of my journey and may I experience your love through the people that you have surrounded me with. Lord, teach me to consecrate all my relationships to you. ”
