John 13:34-35

34. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
35. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Our relationships with God, ourselves, and others are of utmost importance to God.

Matthew 22:37-40

37. And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38. This is the great and first commandment.
39. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

Authentic relationships are the only ones worth having, we strive to be real with each other, our problems, struggles, hopes, dreams, fears, failures, successes.
