Life 2.0 - Life that is truly life

There is a significant reason that people do not find emotional and relational healing. What I have obsesrved over years and years of counseling couples and individuals is that there is a major reason most people do not find emotional healing.

But first let me point out a piece of evidence that a person has not experienced emotional healing in an area: the fact that he/she keeps doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. The same arguments have taken place for years over the same topics, perhaps difference characters, but same issues. They keep blaming the other person. They keep focusing on what they don't have instead of what they do have. They keep blowing up at the same issues they have been blowing up about for years. And they are unaware of the pain they cause. An instand replay would reveal that even the same words and gestures have been used for years.

The main reason most people don't find emotional healing is that they Don't honestly believe that they need it as bad as their partner does. When you or anyone is humbled before God, broken by His revelation, crumpled by His sorrow, then healing is just a step away. Ask God to search you out and show you what He wants to heal in you (Psalm 139:23-24). You will be shocked at how amazingly fast your partner changes when God touches you first.

Perhaps there is a reason you get to frustrated. Could it be that God is trying to change, heal you and He wants you to focus on yourself instead of your partner?

(If your first desire was to show this e-perspective to your partner, then please re-read it, more slowly this time.)

Remember me as loving you!
