Hi,
In order to have a good relationship with G-d, one MUST have a good relationship with others.
In my life G-d comes first, in the sence that loving G-d (which I cant see) is expressed trough loving others (which I can see). Being kind, compassionate, not judging others, translates my love for G-d.
But being human, I admit I don't always do that, in some cases, I have a hard time turning the other cheek...Depends on the context and the arrogance of the person...
ie: Like most people I would also defend a child, a disabeled, an outcat, elderly, etc and would go mad at the person trying to hurt them.
But I also would, (and did...) defend a helpless animal and go beserk at the person trying to hurt one!

when asked this question (which is the most important commandment? ) Jesus said first to love God with all your heart mind and soul, and then for free He through in another unasked question, which I do not think was an accident in communication He said love your neighbor as yourself. Here is the important point, God helps tremendously with the second comandment. Not so much with those who do not wish to be God's friends but even sometimes those elements as well, cuz yah need a place to go get built up, after some do their best to tear you down.

We should intimate God's behaviour to the best of our ability towards mankind, as God is merciful,loving,forgiving.........
so we will be merciful to help the poor and needy, we create love
among ourselves and forgive one another......if we have developed a good relationship among ourselves there will be no troubles at all, how nice it will be everybody will be living just like in Heaven happily ever after, that is what God want us to do.

Actual living people. People will help you to live life to it's fullest. "God" will not. If such a person exists, he/she/it will help you live after this life is done. So, why form a relationship with this so called "god" now? Interact with people in the here and now.

A good relationship with an actual living person because they are real unlike God who is no more real than Santa Clause.

Living people are what is important to me. Why? Because they are here. Hope you had a nice turkey day.

GOD COMES FIRST, because GOD gives me the ability to love everyone else. He's the least common demoninator in the equation. How can I love you without the ABILITY to love, that I got from GOD?

People. No question. Why? Because I'm surrounded by them. They're everywhere. They're real. God is not. I have to deal with people every single day.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. If your relationship with God is what it should be, your relationship with your fellow human beings will naturally follow. Love your neighbor as yourself. One naturally follows another, for to know God is to love Him, who gave His life for us. Love of God compels us to love our fellow man.
