Discerning, forming and maintaining healthy relationships are some of most important aspects of a successful life. You will rise or fall at the level of your associations. The first time God ever says something was not good takes place in the book in Genesis. After pronouncing creation to be good, He then says that it is not good for man to be alone. If God states this to be truth, then it must be critical to our wellbeing. We are equipped to reward others, and we simultaneously have individual deficits that others can complete. The more valuable the relationship, the greater the cost of that relationship. The price paid will be proportionate. There should be an equal give and take. If there is an investment there should be a return. In the Old Testament, Esther was going to be the salvation of her nation. She prepared for one year prior to her one night with the king. There must be a willingness to qualify for association, access and intimacy.
