Be the 3rd: Communicating the Way God Intended

Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image.”

Have you ever thought about what being made in the Image of God really means? I have, and that one thought led me into a beautiful journey of God’s desire for us.

The Image of God is multi layered, but here we focus on the relational. God is a God of relationship. As His most precious creation, God desires nothing more than to be in relationship with us.

Our greatest commandment is to love Him, the second greatest commandment is to love others. All humans were made in the image of God we are all called to love Him first, others second. We were literally made for relationship.

Yet we fail. Relationships aren’t easy, so we struggle.

Here we discover God’s design for relationship. We look deep into the communication process, including divine communication, our relationship with Him, along with interpersonal, our relationship with others, and intrapersonal, how we communicate to self. Once we start to understand these relationship dynamics and our unique communication capabilities, loving God, and loving others, relationship, becomes much easier.

When we follow this commandment to put God first, others second, we might wonder where we fit?

At Bethe3rd, we talk honestly about how we communicate, and how we should be communicating in our relationships with God, others, and ourselves.

Join me, Jackie Melvin, here at Be the 3rd every Thursday where we focus on communicating the way God intended and discovering His design for relationship.
