Reflections

Our relationship with God is the epicentre of all our relationships. It is central, it is the focal point.  Just like an earthquake has an epicentre, so all our relationships has an epicentre.  The shockwaves from our relationship with God will impact upon our relationships with others. 
 


Saul’s deteriorating relationship with God led to deteriorating relationship with others, notable David and Jonathan. Those that have no relationship with God, will find all their relationships distorted.  Those who have minimal relationship with God will find minimal improvements in their relationships. 
 

When we truly experience God’s mercy upon our lives and understand its significance, it will motivate us to show mercy to others – God’s way. Luke 6:36 (NIV) Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.  We are enabled to be merciful because we experience God’s mercy to us.
