We Can Look At The Pain In

We Fail To Reckon With The Reality Of Human Nature. By Nature,we Are Egocentric. Our World Revolves Around Us. None Of Us Is Totally Altruistic.

One [reality] Is That I Am Responsible For My Attitude. I Can Be In Prison, And I Happen To Get A Chance To Go Outside. I Can Look At The Mud, Or I Can Look At The Stars. I Am The One Who Decides Which Way To Look. That Is True For Every One Of Us.

We All Desperately Need Love. If A Spouse In A Difficult Marriage Will Learn The Love Language Of That Spouse, And They Will, With The Help Of God, Consistently Speak Their Love Language No Matter How They Are Treated.

Encouragement Requires Empathy And Seeing The World From Your Spouse's Perspective. We Must First Learn What Is Important To Our Spouse. Only Then Can We Give Encouragement. With Verbal Encouragement, We Are Trying To Communicate, "i Know. I Care. I Am With You. How Can I Help?" We Are Trying To Show That We Believe In Him And In His Abilities. We Are Giving Credit And Praise.

Forgiveness Is Not A Feeling; It Is A Commitment. It Is A Choice To Show Mercy, Not To Hold The Offense Up Against The Offender. Forgiveness Is An Expression Of Love.
