BE TRUTHFUL

In the journey of relationships, honesty is not just a virtue but a fundamental principle that shapes the foundation of genuine connections. When we choose to deceive or mislead others, especially in the initial stages of getting to know someone, we sow seeds of frustration and discord that inevitably lead to a harvest of pain and regret.

Whether you are asking a lady out for a relationship or making efforts to get to know someone who interests you, remember that honesty is the cornerstone of authentic communication. The cost of lying, even if it seems small or insignificant at the time, can have long-lasting consequences that impact both parties involved.

As disciples of Jesus, let us embody the values of truthfulness and integrity in all aspects of our lives, including our relationships. Let us strive to be transparent and genuine in our interactions, knowing that honesty not only fosters trust and respect but also lays the groundwork for meaningful and lasting connections.

So, let us commit to being truthful in our words and actions, for it is through honesty that we honor both ourselves and those around us.

Prince Victor Matthew

The Power of Communication in Building a Purposeful Relationship

Dear friend, the strength of any relationship lies in its foundation of effective communication. Without it, misunderstandings arise, assumptions take root, and frustrations build. Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” Agreement comes through understanding, and understanding is achieved when both parties communicate openly and honestly about their values, priorities, and needs. A relationship cannot thrive if silence, guesswork, or avoidance replace meaningful conversations. Your dating relationship is a time to discover the person you’re with and assess compatibility. This goes beyond surface-level interests; it requires delving into each other’s purpose and calling. Proverbs 4:7 teaches, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Understanding your partner's direction in life allows you to align your steps intentionally. Communication is not just about talking; it’s about listening, empat...
