​Valuing Relationships

Even some of the least valued relationships can have an immense effect on how we navigate our lifestyles. Do you value your relationships; how do you estimate their value and what diminishes the value of that relationship for you? We tend to give the quality of time and energies to those people we naturally like and are attracted to, but is that God's way? Matthew 5:46.
Is giving to gain really giving?
Is loving in order to be loved really loving?
