Why Relationships Should Always Come First

Relationships. They can be a blessing and they can be a burden. Either way, they are the essence of our life here on earth. Whether we’re talking about our relationship with God, our family or our friends, we should always make an effort and go the extra mile to deepen our relationship with God, our family and our friends.

Family. They're the first people we see when we open our eyes and they're the last ones we see when we leave this world. At least, that's how it should be. Life doesn't always work out that way. Some people don't get to see their family for long periods of time. Some come from broken families. Some are blessed to be born in a happy family.

Friends. Next to our family, our friends are our trusted allies as we go through our daily lives. Most of the time, they are the first people we turn to for comfort during our trying times. They are the ones we call and run to when we get in trouble and are too embarrassed to ask our family for help. They stand by us and keep us sane in this crazy, zany world. And they are the ones who stick with us no matter what.

Whoever and wherever we are, relationships are very important in our life. We need to treasure our family and friends and deepen our relationships with them simply because without them life would be dull and dreary, lonely and boring.

Most people who suffer through grief go through depression and this is when they need their family and friends the most. Our relationships with our family and friends and even our neighbors are a reflection of our relationship with God. We need to nurture it with love, sprinkle it with lots of joy and good cheer, and spend as much time on our relationships as we can. This is very important because if we neglect the most important people in our life, the time will come when they won’t be here anymore and we will regret not spending as much time with them as we should have.

So whether you’re happy or sad, people should matter more and we should spend more time taking care of each other and nurturing relationships. This is the only way we can live a full and happy life, free of loneliness and other negative emotions. Surrounding ourselves with positive people and sharing as much love as we can with our loved ones will bring us joy beyond compare. So share the love and live life to the full.
