We live in a broken world, and most of us either know somebody in an unhealthy relationship or we ourselves are in one. Alot of times we conform to what the world does, and we forget about Gods best for us in our lives. We don't have to live like this though, and it all starts with having a relationship with God. With God we have the ability to break the chains of unhealthy relationships, and put an end to unhealthy destructive cycles. Of course if nobody has ever told us about God, or we've never learned about His best then we are living in this dark world without any sight of light. The first place to start is the bible. There are so many bibles out there it's hard to know which one to choose. I personally feel that it's all about how you understand things. If you get a bible that seems like a different language then the words on the page with simply only ever be just words on a page for you. However if you get a bible that you truly understand then the words can speak to you, and you can learn how to allow them to your life. One of my favorite bibles is the Message bible, along with the NIV study bible ( You can check out my "I Recommend " box at the top right corner of this site for a full list of my personal recommendations. ) Another great resource is finding a devotional and taking time daily to read it. This can be a great step in becoming closer to God, and His best for your life. If you are mapping out personal time to spend with God on a daily basis this is a HUGE step! Keeping a journal is another great thing to do in your walk with God. It is a good way to get your thoughts down, record your prayers, and later reflect on your growth. We need to begin with a strong solid foundation, and that can only be done with God. All other relationships come after our relationship with Him, and once you learn about His best for your life you will understand why. So I encourage you to dig out your bibles, dust them off, and get to reading!
