When you have the right relationship with GOD you have all the right relationship with people.
I would like to tell you something about me. I need to take a lot of time and thinking before I say something. I am not very good at communicating with people. I am so afraid to make mistakes and I am afraid when I say something wrong you will think I am stupid or teased me on my mistakes. I don’t speak much because it takes time for me to think and imagine what people are going to react to my words.
In my school life, I had some friends. They trusted in me they told me their secrets or worries. And I was a pretty good listener I gave them some advice and opinions. But I didn’t truly care about them. I was just standoffish. Sometimes I felt having friends is so troublesome. I was so tired about hearing their stories and I made friends because when teachers asked students to divide into groups I wanted someone would like to be a group with me then I won’t be alone and people won’t think I am weird.
When I first attended the Bible study I was so nervous. People will be asked to share their opinions on different things. But the Christian leader really gave me room to learn. And I learned from other Christian how they expressed their ideas. I don’t feel I can pray in front of people but now I do. And I had one terrible experience of praying in public.
Gradually, I started to open my hearts to build relationships with Christian friends. I will like to understand people’s heart and their difficulties. Not just giving them careless answers. I know now making mistakes is normal. I feel safe when I say things around Christians. The church gives me a lot of love and trusts. I learned how to have a healthy interpersonal relationship through Christ.
The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? Psalm 27:1
