Relationships are very important.  Our spiritual, mental and emotional well-being depend on how well we relate to God and to people. Wise words of advice for different types of relationships are found in the book of Proverbs.  These include relationships between parents and children, husbands and wives, friends etc. 

Some people live by the principle that the more they accumulate through being mean to others or through exploiting others, the richer and more secure they will become. That is foolishness according to the word of God, because it will eventually prove to have the opposite result. God's way is to be generous. God will see to it that those who are truly generous - not because they are compelled to give, but from a heart that really believes in and trusts in God to provide - will end up with true riches.

Pleasing God directly relates to our pursuit of holiness. When we say no to sin, and yes to righteousness we please God. It is those who please God that will hear "Well done, enter the joy of the Lord". When the Bible tells us that God hates anything - we'd better take note and draw on all the resources He has provided to avoid doing those things and focus on bringing pleasure to Him through our obedience.
