✨Some people may be emotionally cold because they've been hurt in life and have become hardened and desensitized. They don't want to feel because they learned early on that feeling is often painful. They have developed ways to deny or turn off their feelings.
✨Many people who seem to be cold and emotionless have merely developed ways to numb their pain. They may have become masters at isolation. They feel safe only when they are not involved with anyone.
✨When we feel we can control everything and everyone, we are usually stressed to the max all the time.
💫 People who don't exhibit much emotion need healing just as excessively emotional people do.
✨ Anytime we discover that we are of balance in an area of life, we need to confront it and work with the Holy Spirit to bring it into balance.
💫 People who have been hurt often build walls that they hide behind to protect themselves.
💫The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the Joy. ----- Jim Rohn
💫We must work with God to find the balance between being who we are and not excusing rude or unloving behavior by saying, "That is just the way I am."
💫When a friend or spouse needs you to adapt in some area to make the relationship better, it is foolish and selfish to say, "Sorry, that is just the way I am."
✨Many marriages fail because people won't make an effort to give their spouse what he or she needs. We tend to think that if we don't need something, then nobody does.
💫 Love demands that we all be willing to grow and change.
💫God said when a man and a woman are married, the two will become one flesh,but He never said it would be easy. Good relationships require a lot of hard work, education, and willingness to meet each other's needs.
💫 Loving people unconditionally is the greatest gift we can give them and ourselves.
✨One of the secret to your personal peace is letting people be who God made them to be, rather than trying to make them be who you want them to be.
🌼The best way to live is to learn to cast your care and let God care for you. Cast your care.
Decision and confession: With God's help I can get along with and adapt well to all kinds of people.
