Are you giving them what they need?
The quality of ones life is normally based on the quality of relationships you have in your life. Generally, if you have good relationships in your life, you are happy and satisfied, and your demeanor shows it.
And, if you have mostly bad relationships in your life, you are generally unhappy and miserable and your demeanor shows it. So relationships are important. They can make us or break us.
I can remember at the start of this year, I had three great relationships in my life. Not intimate. Just great, powerful, influential people that I was drawn to. My life was so full. But now, as the year nears an end, all of those relationships have gone-except one. And I am left wondering why?
You may have had a similar experience. You were in a great relationship and then boom all of the sudden its gone...never to return. You ask yourself, what went wrong? I thought this person was the one. Now what?
First remember God is in control. No matter what things may look like. God is still in control.
Second, this is a good time to evaluate. Do not try to go out and get someone to fill the void. Instead, take this time to reflect. Ask yourself did you give them what they needed, or was it all about you?
Third, allow time to heal your pain. Cry if you need to... Just allow yourself the time it takes to heal. Don't try to win that person back. Accept that it is over and move on. The saying below is true:
"Relationships are like broken glass. Sometimes it better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting them back together."
In the case of a married couple: reconciliation should always be the goal.
In this season when we are supposed to be Happy for Thanksgiving and Merry for Christmas, some of us may find ourselves in a slump.
I encourage you to check yourself for signs of depression.
The main difference between being just sad vs. depressed is:
*If you are sad, when things get better, you are better.
*If you are depressed, even when things get better, you are still not better.
Please get help if you need it.
Remember to take care of yourself. Get enough rest, try to exercise, and try to eat healthy.
To you and yours, have a Blessed Holiday Season!
