What is GPS?

At the heart of spiritual health is our relationship with God. Trust, communication, and intimacy form the basis for a healthy and transformative relationship with God. Love begins in God. We receive it in relationship with God.

In the biblical principle to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves, the love of self often gets neglected. Only when we learn to forgive, regulate emotions, and allow ourselves to become vulnerable in our relationships will the love of God translate ito the love of neighbor.

Empathy determines our capacity to love others. By learning to listen to others. By learning to listen to others and feel what others feel, we will be more willing and able to actively love other people in a healthy way. Loving others is the product of a healthy relationship with God & self.
