Don’t be fooled by thinking, just because you know someone means you know who they have become. That’s why it's difficult to experience true intimacy unless you're comfortable with strangers. It’s difficult to see the people you love turn into complete strangers and it's difficult to be obligated to strangers.

At some point we all ask ourself are these the children I raised, is this the man or the woman I married, is this the friend I shared so much with. We all evolve and for those we are in relationship with or those in relationship with us it's not always easy.

One of the best things I have heard in my years in ministry and counseling is when I heard a minister say to a couple he was marrying, "can love several different people?" He was asking the question can you love your spouse as they evolve and grow into new people over the years.

Let’s talk!

Sometimes we just need to get in the presence of our Heavenly Father and no better way to do it than in prayer. We are living in a time that we have to watch as well as pray like never before. I pray this prayer encourages, uplifts, and blesses you.
