How God Reflects Healthy Relationships to Us

"We will enhance your beauty, encircling you with our golden reins of love. You will be marked with our redeeming grace." —Song of Songs 1:11 (TPT)

As God interacts with us, His children, He encircles us completely with His great love. His very being reflects the concept of a complete and healthy family. God is a Trinity, three in one—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—united and in harmony. In His fullness, He can fill every relational need we have—body, mind, and spirit.

As our Heavenly Father, God represents an earthly father interacting with us as His child. He shelters us with His protection, gives us our identity, and provides for our needs with His abundant supply. The Holy Spirit comforts, teaches, and guides us on a good path. Much like an earthly mother, the Holy Spirit helps us feel cared for and also helps us to grow spiritually. Jesus Christ, the son of God, embraces us as a beloved sibling, compassionately relating to us and offering wisdom as we learn to think like He does.

It is important to grow in understanding what God’s different aspects and roles have to say to us about our relationships. Achieving healthy love patterns and a complete, whole, and healthy life do not simply happen—but they are well worth seeking out. As we seek truth and dedicate ourselves to the faith and hope of living wholly in Christ, we can develop a stronger, fuller relationship with Him, understand how we are made in His image, and connect with others through that sense of completeness and love that we gain as part of His family.

Decide today to spend at least fifteen minutes in God’s Word, learning who God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are to you—His beloved child.

Here are three Bible-based affirmations for today:

I AM choosing to spend time with God daily. I AM made in the image of God. I AM His beloved son or daughter.

Remember, we capitalize the I AM to demonstrate our awareness that Christ in us gives us everything we need. We are nothing without Him.
