  • Notes:

    Our best or worst days are rarely about things; they’re usually about relationships


    It’s hard to win at life when we’re losing at our relationships


    Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. -The Harvard Gazette


    The only real power we have to fix relationships is to work on ourselves


    I am the common factor in every one of my struggling relationships


    “You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye.  How can you say, ‘My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,’

    …when you don't see the log in your own eye? You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.”
    - Matthew 7:3-5


    It’s natural to easily see the faults of others while being blinded about our own flaws. Always, always start by looking in the mirror first!


    We struggle at relationships because we’re blind to the fact that we’re actually part of the problem


    We ALL have… 

    - a distorted view of our own flaws

    soul damage that causes a warped response

    disordered desires that create dysfunction


    “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

    - John 13:34


    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

    Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
    - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7


    Challenge:

    • What’s my part in the problem?
    • How is hurt shaping my responses?
    • Where am I being unfairly selfish?
