It has been a little while since I have last updated the blog with a new post, but as the goal with every post, my hope is that this will be a blessing to anyone who reads it. More importantly I pray it is pleasing in God's sight. I am merely just writing what God has revealed to me.
Here we go, everyone's favorite subject right? Relationships lol. This is not a post where I describe what qualities I would like in a young lady or venting about how good women are lacking. No, I would like to challenge myself and others to focus on one very important aspect regarding relationships: Ourselves!!
You see it countless times, individuals brag about how they can OBTAIN a relationship, but ironically they can't seem to MAINTAIN a relationship.
That is the problem sometimes. Individuals break up and blame the other person for the mistakes made and never take the necessary time look at themselves. Unfortunately they go through this cycle of one relationship after another, always assuming it is the other person's fault. However, it is time to go back to basic Grade School math...
What (or WHO)is the common denominator?...
Consider these wise words I have learned from my mother, "If you learn how to become unselfish and admit your mistakes, any relationship you are in has potential to grow." In other words, if you are willing to work on yourself, watch your expectations of others decrease. Your expectations of others become more realistic!
Matthew 7:3-5 says it all!
"3 And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye." (NLT).
