As Christian.... God will show us our heart and issues, through other ppl. He don't reveal everything at once, little bit at a time through situations, conflicts, and relationship. The problem is that we don't know how to receive what others see in us and we build a wall of offensives. God speak to us during out quiet time with him, and AT Amen in my previos post (s) i have always said that GOD will show you you.........but one must spend time alone with God for him to show you what's inside of you........ KB, I agree it may sometimes takes others to show you things about yourself, but a mature loving man is not going to badger me over hormonal issues (for example) when we have identified the problem.....we together (if he chooses) will work through these issues...... in my relationship my husband actually jokes about my yo yo changes and during those times when he picks up on my mood he will ask "is it ok to talk with you today".....and by him saying that it automatically puts me in check..... i don't know but maybe we (my husband and i) are different because we disagree on ALOT of issues but i just don't see our disagreements as major struggles....... and again in addition to Christ my husband is very, very mature....... |

You have said a mouthful!! We know what we are dealing with on a daily basis. We don't need a word from Sis. Franky or anybody else because God will always show us ourselves. Now Some people will not admit that they are a certain way due to the fact that they always want to appear as if they have got it all together. Its just like God to show you yourself through somebody else. You'll find that its amazing how God can show you someone's character, and you say omg, is that how I act at times.., and then God whispers "yes booboo" now lets get it together. . Amen. Saints have been taught to pretend. They are told to fake it till they make it. They have been taught to leave their issues at the door, and act like its all well. put on a mask, cover it up. I don't ever want to live that way, but I know many individuals who do. |

This used to be one of the line in my church too. They even took it a step farther.... Drop those that not doing as well as you and that always have problems and always broke ... you need to stick to those that going places and doing something and doing better than you.... What happen to have a good friend that can relates to you, what Happen to loving you brothers and sisters in Christ. We became a ministry of SELF... and not God... This causes those who going through trails and tribulations, isolates themselves and pretend everything is fine.
You have to pretend if you don't want to be rejected.

Sounds like a Holy Ghost Pyramid scheme to me. Only the people at the top get all the benefits.

While I have never been a supporter of " fake it till you make it ". In all honesty we do have to use wisdom with the people we choose as friends, associates and accquaintances. I tend to see people as outer court, inner court or holy of holies. Jesus had the multitude, the twelve, and the three.
Sometimes we need to choose ( or better yet let GOD choose ) our companions better. Sometimes it is a good idea to drop that person that isnt going anywhere or doing anything. Sometimes it is a good idea to drop that " dream killer " or that negative naysayer from your life.
I believe you have to know who you are called to gleen from and who you are called to pour into. I cannot tell you how many times people have contacted me about being their mentor and its been very few times where GOD has said, yes mentor them, pour into them.
Thrn there have been people that I thought, eh I dont need them. I dont need to learn from them and GOD has turned right around and said NO you need to learn from them. They have knowledge that you need.
So the key I believe in relationships is to hear GOD about them and the depth of the relationship. Some relationships are temporary. They have a time and a season. Some shift. You could be the mentor one season and the mentoree the next season.
But dont fake nothing. Thats not faith.

Giant... I agree... but some ppl are cut off from a person, not because God is doing the separation, because the person is not moving fast enough, or not where they think he should. God may have that person in that state for a reason, and not because something wrong with him. He may be in that state of preparation.
People go through from different reason, it not always because they are slothful, lazy, dream killer or negative.... God make be purging and preparing that person for destiny.
I totally agree that God should be the one that match us up with a friend or partner.... I've learn that the hard way, I have been around some big time dream killer and professional negative person, I dropped them fast,. but it didn't stop me from reaching out to those in need, unless God say leave them alone, and he have a few time. they don't have to be a friend or someone mentoring, they don't have to be in your most inner circle, inner circle or outer circle... They are a brother or sister in Christ. they may need a ride to church now and than. May need food to get through the week or bus fare till payday. If your church is like mind with more single parent than couples, they sometime need help. This what was happening in my church, ppl will turn their nose up and look aways from ppl who may have needs.
What you say is wisdom.... thank you.

SIS AT, Because there are two different couples, I think you may have your "Mc Clendons" confused.  (Check page 1 of this thread.) Also you may want to repost (at least some of) your comment Here.  |

LOL! Sis, that is some kind of question!  You know the old saying, "GOD don't like ugly....and HE ain't particular about pretty, lol!  (Speaking of "mix-ups", it wasn't too long ago that I thought for about a minute that you and sis anointed were the same person.  |
