How Can Relationships be Bad and a Quiz to Decide
Written by KaylaJayne
How can a
relationship
be bad?
This is a big question. I’ll try to break it down as simply as I can with a few simple questions to determine whether a relationship is bad or not…here’s a little quiz to help you evaluate:
Is my relationship bad
Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.
– Proverbs 13:20
If you answered Yes to all of the questions, your relationship is a good relationship. Praise Jesus that you have such a caring and respectful friend – they are truly a gift for you!!!
Now, while we can’t expect our relationships to be perfectly balanced like this, we can expect our Christian friends to fulfill some of these, some of the time. When they don’t, then we need to re-evaluate how we are responding – making sure that we are treating them with a servant’s heart. This is not to say that anything you did caused them to treat you less than Jesus would, it just gives us a stronger push to treat them MORE as Jesus would.
If you answered any of the bottom answers, your friendship needs to be evaluated or maybe you need to evaluate how you are looking at the friendship. It sounds like this friendship is unhealthy and either needs to be cut off, or you need to look at it as a ministry instead of friendship.
