Usually, when we quote a verse in Genesis in a conference about relationships, it’s Genesis 2:18 because it talks about marriage. However, there is an even more important part of our essence before marriage: we have been created in God’s image.
God is a good Father who generously gives us everything we need. Since we are His children, we should also be generous like our Father, but our selfish flesh does not want to. So how can we develop this skill?
Reading the first chapter of Romans, we understand that our eternal salvation and daily well-being are summed up in “who” we choose to revere and to whom we give our gratitude.
As Christians, we often imagine that being filled with the Holy Spirit is an emotional experience. It can be emotional or not. But we should ask God to fill us with His Holy Spirit regularly.

Any good Christian will answer “Of course”! By trying to be a “good person,” we automatically think we are trustworthy. However, there are many small actions that we take that can put barriers in our relationships.
The book of Deuteronomy is Moses' last pep-talk before Israel enters the Promised Land. His speech often repeats the same advice: “Remember”. If we want to make sure to have success in our new chapter, maybe we should apply this message too!
Children are impulsive. Often parents have to stop them by saying: “Think about what you are doing!” As adults, are we very different from them? Yet God’s Word says that our success lies in these moments of reflection.
