It’s been happening since the fall of man…

Pointing the finger of blame at the next person instead of taking accountability and ownership of our own bad choices.

Raging and right-fighting instead of reconciling our differences.

Choosing destruction instead of construction as we amplify the war machine instead of focusing our resources on meeting real needs.

These external conflicts are an outward manifestation of the battle within ourselves.

The qualifier on this quote from Will Durant is that 1000 people had to die for it to qualify as a war. It doesn’t mean there weren’t “minor” conflicts in those 268 years. I say “minor” because there are no winners in war, only widows. Loss never feels minor to the person experiencing it.

I understand that defend and protect became a necessary motivation, but I’m challenging us all to look deeper to the roots of why that is our culture, because it is not the culture of heaven.

“For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17

Forget religious institutions for a minute and look at the bottom line of the words on the page…

God who is LOVE gave us His son to forgive and reconcile us (and we brutally murdered the most loving perfect person to ever walk this earth).

He gave us the Bible as a roadmap on how to rise above it.

He gave us the Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us through it.

And that’s what you choose to villainize?

You’re mad at God because He holds us accountable for the harm we choose to cause, offers redemption because we are valuable and precious to Him, and shows us a way out that blesses us?

If that’s what causes you to be angry, your sense of justice is misplaced and priorities should be checked. People make bad choices. God is calling us out of them. You’re following people in media and politics who manipulate your emotions to be divisive for personal gain. God only reveals the truth and remains constant in what true goodness is.

The impact God has had on my life over the last 9 years to the day has been to heal me, correct me, teach me, bless me, and make me someone who pays it all forward. I’m over here not only praying for peace but acting on faith to serve my community. And all the Christians I know personally are doing the same.

I know nobody is perfect. I know not everyone who calls themselves a Christian walks in the Way.

But the beacon is lit. It’s time to follow Him out of our man made storm on the open seas of chaos so we can land safely on the shore and come home. ❤️

That is the olive branch. 🕊️

CODEPENDENCY vs AUTHENTIC INTIMACY

Codependency: I need you to feel OK or else I'm not ok.

- Authentic Intimacy: I allow you to experience whatever you are experiencing, without needing to change or fix it. You are your own person.

Codependency: I need you to support me and I will guilt you in subtle and not so subtle ways if you don't.

- Authentic Intimacy: I ask for support when I need it from others, not just my partner, and I don't lash out if it's not available in the way I need it.

Codependency: I will blame and shame you for not doing what I want you to do.

- Authentic Intimacy: I accept you as you are while having clear standards around how I will be treated and spoken to.

Codependency: You should know what I need. It's not the same if I have to explain it to you.

- Authentic Intimacy: I communicate openly, and I will never blame you for my lack of courage to share what I want and need.

Codependency: True love is about being loyal no matter what.

- Authentic Intimacy: I have standards and boundaries about how I will be spoken to and treated, and I will clearly express those to you with love.

Codependency: You have a lot of issues, and I'm going to help you. That's where I get my value and worth and sense of being needed.

- Authentic Intimacy: I'm already valuable and worthy. I'm not here to be my partner's therapist, fixer or caretaker.

Codependency: I need you, and you need me.

- Authentic Intimacy: I choose to be with you every day, and you choose to be with me.

Codependency: I can't be without you.

- Authentic Intimacy: I love my alone time. And I love being with you’.

Awwww 🥰

My mind likes to fill in the blanks when I’m missing information that would allow me to completely understand the full picture of a situation or person. Since I know this about myself, I made a commitment to do my best not to form hard conclusions based on a one sided story. I see what I see, but then I ask questions to confirm many perspectives and round out my own. Assuming good intentions and asking people to “inform your feelings” can go a long way! Do you struggle with this as well? What helps you?
