If life was meant to be shared together, why it so hard to get along?

The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as every part dependent on each other part. Every time you understand and affirm someone's feelings, you build fellowship. Real fellowship happens when people get honest about who they are and what is happening in their lives.When was the last you share with each Others troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ. What one step can you take today to connect with other at a heart to heart level?

Sometimes people have been brought up differently, People were made to get along but because we are humans, and are given emotions like jealous, envy, etc. It would depend on our decisions if we decide to be on good terms with others. Though people are indeed born kind and we are all brothers and sisters, somtimes our environment would drive us to how we react towards others.

The apostle Paul shows the harmony of the body parts and how they cooperate well together to take care of the body. Then he shows that the congregation or the body of believers should do the same. The reason we have difficulties is that we have imperfections and have negative characteristics like greed and selfishness and self-importance. Then we have opposition from Satan and the wickedness in the world. So we have a constant fight to do what is right. While it is difficult to get along we can be successful by studying the example of Christ and by following in his footsteps. All the best!

I don't think it's a problem about getting honest as much as it is about trusting others. There are very few I would trust with things that I would sometimes like to talk about. If we were all the Christians that God would like us to be, then it would be much easier to share concerns and needs as well as blessings. I believe people are becoming more and more jaded and less and less able to appreciate close relationships that are real.

nowadays, hardly I can see people treat relationship be it, family, friends or love in serious with trust and honesty. Everyone is bond to care for themselves first before even thinking of others. I still think it's best to share with GOD our problem than sharing with others as nowadays people treat 'personal' information as 'gossip'! It's sad to see this, but that's the actual fact. Or we should start 'educating' our 2nd generation to obey the law of Christ.

I think it depends ,every time i have problems i directly go to Gd if other friend can't solve it but i am sure they cant just give advice's,opinions and etc comfort.. We can't share problems with other in the time they are not in same with you that have problems..But whatever i have problems i go to God.Sometimes at friends and etc but most to God.

Whenever we see people as God sees them, be real and true to your feelings and intentions then we can always have a genuine fellowship with the people around us. We may have different views in life but if we put God as the center of everything, even to our lives then getting along with others won't be that so hard to do. That's just my opinions.
