Series on Manipulative or Immature Relationships
New Trendy Word Alert (Counter-Attacks)
🙄Correction = Petty
🥶Boundaries = Controlling
🫣Accountability = Attacked
🥴Authority = Arrogant
(These word may vary depending on which generational group in relation to vocabulary)
No you are none of these things. You are mature and these words try and counter who you are with false words of their projections of low esteem, rejections, and lack of maturity. You have to stand in Authority and Keep a Posture of Correction,Forgiveness, and Love. Never retaliate but you do have to Correct. Correction is NOT petty and we need to remove this false teaching and understand it’s an attack on who you are, it’s like someone calling you out your name, don’t be offended correct them and move on because it’s coming mainly to counter correction. Because if the words are indeed petty, as a leader this could reflect levels of abuse. (Another days word)
If you have children they don’t want to be corrected because it hurts their feelings. Your soul has to be afflicted to understand to turn and go higher because that behavior is not correct. The Bible speak of those who he loves he disciplines. (Hebrews 12:6)Those who are teachable, and can receive correction are likely to grow. Not abuse, but correction. (This is another story and we will touch this later.)
Individuals are likely to feel like the victim not solely out of malice but out of lack of maturity. How do you teach immaturity…you give wisdom, strong teaching, love, and correction. He who rejects it refuses to grow. This than becomes a throwing your pearl before swine situation. (Matthew 7:6) We don’t have to demonize the relationship but we do have to maintain our posture and be unmovable, set boundaries, teach, and be willing to forgive them either way because you are the mature one you have to govern the relationship. Sometimes this may require removing yourself temporarily until the relationship shifts and grows or even permanently.
While maintaining your posture two things will happen. That individual will be challenged and grow through agitation or they will leave.(James 4:7)
Don’t stop loving, don’t become hard or bitter but you stand, be mature and love. Some grow and others blame. That’s not your responsibility what they say. You Know Your Name.
