THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG

Just been pondering. Which is first RELATIONSHIP or FAITH. I know that God wants a relationship with me and I want a relationship with Him. I want to be loved by people and to love people. Can this just happen and these relationships develop? Did it start with God’s desire for relationship or did it start with His faith? I find that I can have no lasting relationship without applying faith or it goes south. My marriage relationship is great but the glue is faith. I have had times in my life where great faith was available and I was able to walk in this awesome faith but my relationship skills were not there and relationships took a hit.

Now I enjoy relationship so much that if I’m not aware and careful, my faith will dwindle. I don’t want faith that builds at the expense of relationship. I don’t want relationships that doesn’t have a Kingdom building purpose through faith.

Just pondering.
