RELATIONSHIPS
If you have a partner that is according to
your design but nothing according to what
you actually need, that is a recipe for disaster.
That raises a number of scenarios that
come to mind when partners have expectations
from each other that are not being
met. Rather look for positive in the partner
that God has blessed you with. Find out what
it is that God saw that you needed from him/
her in order to sustain you than looking at
their faults and how they are failing to be
who you want them to be. No human is God;
therefore, no one can change another human
especially by hammering into their
heads what they are doing wrong. The best
strategy to better a person is to focus on their
positives and make them understand how
you appreciate what they are contributing
to your life. No one is perfect, everyone is
walking around with black spots. So if you
are going to spend your energy focusing on
their spots, you are not hurting them but
rather yourself. Your spots will be waiting to
be fixed and growing because you are paying
no attention to them but to those that do
not belong to you.
Matthew 7:3-5 NEV Why do you
see the speck in your brother’s eye,
but you fail to see the beam of
wood in your own? Or how can
you say to your brother, ‘Let me
remove the speck from your eye,’
while there is a beam in your own?
You hypocrite! First remove the
beam from your own eye, and
then you can see clearly to remove
the speck from your brother’s eye.
It all starts with you as an individual.
You cannot fix others
or change them to what you
want them to become, only
God can. However, you can
work on yourself. You can
work on changing your mentality
about marriage, your
partner and try to understand
the plan God has for your
marriage. It is when you operate
under His guidance that
you will be fine.
Marriage is a ministry ordained
and anointed by God
to serve His purpose. Through
that ministry children are
born, and the same ministry is
to help guide the direction of
the lives of those children for
God has a purpose for their
lives. When things go wrong in
it, only God can fix the problems
for it is His ministry.
