7 Objectives in the realm of Relationships

Relationships
1.To have many relationships at balanced levels of intimacy, able to be very intimate with a few (Ashley and 1-2 close friends), somewhat intimate with a little bit of a larger group, and more surface level with the very many; and to be skilled at cultivating all kinds of relationships.
2. To always have free and open lines of communication with Ashley, and to do whatever it takes to maintain those.
3. To be the type of follower that I myself would most like to lead: faithful and humble and proactive and submissive.
4. To be so consumed and amazed by the free gracious love of God for me, that I have no desire or need ever to manipulate any of my earthly relationship.
5. To never use the "cultivation of relationships" as an excuse for undue indolence, when such cultivation is not biblically aimed.
6. To always be entrusting to God those I have relationships with, pointing them away from myself and to Christ.
7. To intentionally pursue gospel-focused interactions with people, and to always be seeking wisdom by asking others good questions.
