I'm Skola and you're listening to Revealed. This saying was given to me shortly after I recorded the last episode. And it was just a moment of question and getting answers and then it's been confirmed. So I do want to give glory to God for revealing the name of the podcast. Okay, so today's podcast topic will be around mistakes and relationships. Quite clearly everybody has made mistakes in life. Nobody is perfect. But we are made perfect in Christ Jesus who was perfect and was made into sin to save us and give us direct access back to our Lord, back to God. So we just want to give God glory for that. But we as humans were making or are making or have been making a lot of mistakes. Although we're not bound by sin anymore, which is great, but mistakes is something that ultimately comes with being human. That there is an element of us that is always in a process of improvement. We all make mistakes in choosing partners or directions or wanting to do things our way. Mistakes in marriage, mistakes in friendships, mistakes in everyday, you know, just runnings. Mistakes about education, mistakes with everything. But today's is going to mainly focus on relationships, mistakes that are made there. And I think the most fundamental area that I want to focus on mainly is the mistakes that we make with the relationship that we have with ourselves. I'm happy to talk about myself on this one a bit. I've made mistakes in how I've treated myself in the past. I thought that I could do things on my own and realized shortly after that I actually really need help with everything to do with me. I needed to understand who I was, understand whose I was and that process has taken some time. There was, you know, always a time lapse where I would run to God and then run back into myself thinking that I could do it all by myself or thinking that I could help God out. But the more I got to know God, I realized that it's not about me per se. Getting to know myself, the only way that was possible is to get into the Word of God. By understanding more about God, it helps to reveal more about myself and the areas that I could work on and areas that need to be improved. So, the relationship with self dictates a lot about the mistakes that I made externally with others, with life in general. But in order to really get to know yourself or in order to really form a relationship with yourself, it's first and foremost to seek that of the Creator. Because nobody knows themselves fully until someone informs them or something tells them who they are and that thing or entity has to be bigger, has to be more, has to have known you before you were even created. So, that realization is something that I've come to really appreciate. I am grateful that I don't have to manage myself on my own anymore. One of the beauties about this thing called life is God is life. God is the way. He's the truth. There is no other way. Jesus is the one that shows us the way in which we should live and how we should be with one another. I really do believe in his kingdom. I really do believe in his second coming. I really do believe in all the things that he has for us. Like, I'm trusting in him, even when I feel like I don't quite know what to do or what's going on. But whatever he has revealed to me, I am just going for it. I'm trying my best. But in trying my best, I know that there are areas that I could always improve on. And the great thing about God is that he's patient, he's kind, he's long suffering, he's forgiving. And these are all the things and all the elements and the fruits that I also need to have and embody within myself. And a lot of that is to first show that love, that kindness, that long suffering, that patience with myself. Because it's one thing about knowing what you need to do and another thing about practicing or being the things that you need to be. Because it's almost very difficult to love in the way that has no conditions in order for you to love others. You can't love others the way you should until you know how to love the way God has intended for it to be. And that relationship first starts with God, which is to also tap into the God within you. And then that God within you starts to produce fruit for you, which is to learn who you are in him. Yeah, so I guess that was my message today. I would love to know and hear from you guys. Or even just for you guys to question yourselves, what is it about yourself that you could improve to show more about who you truly are in God? What do you need to ask God to help you reveal about yourself? This process called life is a good long process, one that you always need to tap into. Because I feel that with every season you grow, with every experience something happens within. And if you were doing it alone, without God, it just becomes so dark and hard and you feel like you're taking a step forward but really you're taking like 15,000 steps back. But when you include God in all elements of your life, even in your own thoughts, even in the way that you approach everything. Like even down to shopping and food consumption and exercise or how you treat your children. Every single element of your life, the minute you surrender it all to God, so much gets revealed, so much changes, your approach changes. Because you have an entity that created it all, giving you direction and ordering your steps in how to be, how to move, how to relate with one another. God is good, He really is. When I think about all the things that He's done and all the things that He is yet to do, I am always in awe of Him. What a mighty God we serve. And for those that don't know Jesus, I pray you get to know Him. I pray you get to know His goodness, I pray you get to know Him sooner rather than later. Because the sooner you can get into His goodness, the sooner you can get into the love that He has for you, the sooner you can understand that you are not so far gone in the things that you think were mistakes. In the relationships you've built with yourself and that of others that may cause you to wander and drift in the wrong direction. I promise you, Jesus will help you. He wants to take on all of your burdens, all of it, because He cares for you. Like, He is such a good God. Anyway, I really appreciate you guys all listening to the subject today on mistakes in relationships. And I pray you'll all prosper with the relationships you have with yourself and that of others. But most importantly, that of Christ. I seek you first, the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all things shall be added. Have a wonderful day, guys. Enjoy the rest of your week, and I'll see you next Monday. Until then, bye bye.
