BLESSED greetings Cherished one. We are learning about the relevance of preparation in diverse areas of life. This is vital because what you prepare for gives you an advantage than what you are clueless about. You are sure to do well in an exams you prepare for than the one you engage in guess work. We’ve learnt about spiritual and mental preparation. Let’s also consider relational preparation. This implies arming yourself with the best healthy relationship tips. Thus, you need to develop healthy interpersonal relationship with people.

The most difficult engagement on earth is with people. This is because people are of different and complex behaviours at different times. Most times, people are unpredictable in their next actions, however, you can still learn how to relate with people. One of the ways is to value people. Do not see anyone as useless or good for nothing because we are all created in the image of God. Respect and honour people whether you know them or not as declared in 1 Peter 2:17 “Honor all people.” Don’t do these only when you need their help, let it be your lifestyle as a child of God.

Learn to forgive people by focusing on their strengths than their weakness and imperfections. This is vital because you are also human with flaws and imperfections. *Come to terms with the fact that people can hurt and disappoint you sometimes so that you won’t be so bitter against them when such happen.* Build up strength to handle the uncertain behaviours and misbehaviours from people. Finally, learn to live peacefully with anyone you encounter as declared in Romans 12:18 “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” Peace is better than war and violence. Love is better than hatred and quarrels. As you depend on God’s word and His Spirit, manifold wisdom will be supplied to you to relate with people in diverse ways. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always. Amen!
