To make our relationships count, we must be mindful of the deposits we are putting into them as well as the withdrawals. Try thinking about the relationships in your life like a bank account. As you know, the idea of successfully managing your finances is to make more deposits than withdrawals. The same is true of relationships: you need to make more relational deposits than withdrawals. You are constantly making deposits or withdrawals in the relationships of life. A relationship is a two-way street, but you hold the key to healthily maintaining your end of it. Your relationships are a God-given resource. Relationship is the place where we discover and develop those characters that truly matters. If you can relate well, you will live well.
