Knowing God Helps People To Understand Others

By Kimberly Sanders


The interactions that children have with others will often carry over into adulthood. While many adults know this well, they seldom understand it enough to fix their shortcomings. Although some traits are learned at home, through friends, or early work experiences may take some time to reverse, it is possible. Some who have done it say it was their faith and knowing God that played a big part in their transformation.

Growing up, many people have been taught to speak their mind, keep quiet, or tell the truth when it is convenient. What a person needs to look at is whether these behavior patterns have affected their relationships. Someone may realize their ways have hurt others or they were bypassed for an opportunity that could have had a positive impact on their lives. However, they fear change and sometimes expect others to conform to their character flaws.

This is mostly due to being able to relate and share their story with a possible solution is a gift that cannot be found elsewhere. People will spend money on self help courses, medical professionals, and even psychics looking for answers. In many cases, the answers are right in front of their face. All they have to do is respond and follow the light.

While there is nothing wrong with looking nice, having a gourmet meal, or even lounging for hours at a time, taking time to learn about self can answer many questions. Getting answers can be painful or it may take time to come to a logical conclusion, knowing the truth can help a person be a better friend to others. When someone knows the power of the truth, they will tell the truth.

While this theory sounds simple, there are many who get lost in the ills of life. They abuse their body with chemicals to survive a job that is stressful. More common is staying in a toxic relationship for fear of being alone. Many will do illegal things to get more money into their bank accounts and when those funds are gone, they will continue to rob another party until they cannot do it anymore.

While no one is perfect, lending a hand to someone should cost nothing. The individual on the receiving end should feel good to hear positive words and a fair solution to their problem. Anyone in a position to give should do so with humility and the willingness to listen to things said, as well as unspoken communication.

Body language can be a telling sign as to whether someone really wants help. Even if a person says they want help, if their actions say otherwise, they are not yet ready. Finding salvation is supposed to feel good. While life may not be perfect, anyone willing to make changes should feel better about coming out of the darkness.

Breaking bad habits can be challenging, especially when someone has been doing it for years. Even if certain patterns still exist, just cutting back can make a big difference. This all starts by admitting flaws and giving those who may have been affected in the past a sincere apology, followed by a promise to do better. Change, no matter how minor, can help people build more solid relationships and have a better quality of life.
