Building Better Relationships- Part 1

The best way to build better, healthier, and stronger relationships is through the scripture, and Galatians 5:22 has all the tools you need to succeed. As believers, we have Jesus as a role model and the Holy Spirit guiding us. Jesus perfectly modeled all the attributes of the Holy Spirit to give us a baseline to build our lives as believers. We all know what love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control mean, but when we look at them through the lens of the scripture, they are different. They are not based on emotions, which come and go. They are more foundational and have a purpose of helping us reflect and live a godly life for ourselves and others. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are tools that can help you build relationships and demonstrate love to others, but you have to start by having a relationship with God. Once you accept Jesus in your heart, you get a helper, the Holy Spirit, to help and guide you to be better.

Join today’s Therapy Thursday conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Lidia Martinez as we dive into the first part of the series of Building Better Relationships. We have been referencing the fruit of the Holy Spirit from Galatians 5:22 to get the qualities of creating healthy relationships. In this part, we shall discuss love, Joy, and peace. In our next session, we shall cover patience, kindness, and goodness, and in the last one, we will talk about faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
