“One more thing: remember that we weren’t put here alone. Christians need other Christians to function properly, just like the body needs all its parts in order to operate correctly. So, seek out counsel from those who are trying to adopt God’s heart and mind, too. I’m Starting With the Man in the Mirror Relationships are not supposed to be easy; that was never their purpose. (We’ll explore this purpose in future articles.) In our Western culture, relationships are abandoned so often because we have deceived ourselves into thinking that we are in control of them. When this delusion is exposed, however, we typically do not abandon our false perceptions of ourselves. Instead, we just move on to the next relationship, hoping that it will allow us more control than the last one. If we seek to have a biblical view of ourselves, of other people, and of God, our expectations will shift from hoping that others become like us to hoping that God (through others) will make us more like Him.”
This article offers some basic support and direction. I disagree with the striving part of the article rather than God’s revealing to us that we live in.
