Relational God

When we leave God out of our most important relationships, we tend to expect these relationships to meet needs in us that only God can meet. Friends are helpful in that they make life more enjoyable and hardships more bearable. But friends cannot meet our deepest spiritual needs.

Leaving God out of our relationships indicates how unimportant He really is in our own life too. Our relationship with God should be important enough to touch all our other relationships - especially our close friendships.
