Relationships are interesting, confusing, intriguing, mysterious, wonderful, annoying, exasperating, electrifying, etc., etc. We will probably never figure them out. How can we when every single one is different in some way, shape, or form? Plus, they are constantly changing, adapting, and growing as we grow, and adapt, and change.
Started my studies in Biblical Counseling, and loving this book I'm reading called, "Competent to Counsel," by Jay Adams. Pretty much a pioneer in the field. Nouthetic counseling is the official term used to denote counseling that contronts sin and points to the Bible for all answers. He talks about taking action and then your feelings will follow. If you wait until you feel like doing something, you never will. So true! Also, he talks about the Holy Spirit being able to make personality transformations, which I also believe is totally true.
I hate it when people say they can never change, or that person won't ever change...maybe that's true, but God can and does change people all the time. That's what He does best. He works in amazing transformations, and I'm so glad He does. I am absolutely not the same person I was a year ago, or even 6 months ago. I am constantly being transformed into His likeness--day by day, moment by moment. I struggle everyday with allowing God to work in my heart to make me more like Him.
Lord, let me bring You glory. This turned into a little sermon. Huh, would you look at that.:)
