“Finding Your Fit: The Quest For Connection” Part 5

Communication

The Four Building Blocks To Healthy Relationships

1. Trust 2. Love 3. Forgiveness 4. Communication

Communication is the process by which all relationships

thrive and grow.

If you and I want to survive we have to lean towards the SON,

the source of our life.

communication; Is the imparting or exchanging of information.

It is the means of sending or receiving news.

A breakdown in communication will result in a breakdown in

relationship.

The first element of communication is words.

Words are powerful; they are containers and the vehicle by

which ideas, opinions, and feelings are conveyed.

Matthew 12:36-37 ESV

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for

every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be

justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Living out God’s Word in your daily life is the supreme

distinguishing mark of an authentic disciple of Christ. It is the

way God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit

come into your life and make their home in you.

The second element of communication is Listening.

James 1:19 NIV

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this:

Everyone should be quick to listen,

slow to speak and slow to become angry.

Real listening is allowing a person to speak his/her heart and

mind without judgement, condemnation or self-righteousness.

The third element of communication is actions.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how

much you care.

John 3:18 CSB

Little children, let us not love in word or speech,

but in action and in truth.

The fourth element is to follow the leading of The Holy Spirit.

Before you talk to others about God. Talk to God about

others.

Mark 4:28 NIV

All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the

head, then the full kernel in the head.
