Building Healthy Relationship

Relationships are BUILT

They take time, efforts, prayer, humility, vulnerability, forgiveness, mercy, love, honor, respect, trust, discipline, correction

all these things are needed in all relationships

Now in order to progress in relationships two have to make individual choices

Two Powerful People

powerful people own their choices, take responsibility and

you can only go and grow in a relationship as far as someone Is Willing to go

we often want to push people into choice that is often good and beneficial but we end up high jacking the relationship

managing your decisions and the other persons decisions for them

The only person you have control of is yourself

Boundaries

Healthy relationships have a healthy understanding of one self

Self autonomy

Where i start and end

We have to learn what are our responsibilities and do that faithfully

We are not responsible for the choices other people make

We are only to be obedient to God

We can counsel people, love people, correct people, offer people you perspective

However we can’t make their choices for them

Lord, are there other peoples responsibilities that I have taken on that are not mine to carry ?
