Circumstances within relationships can at times sour. Suffering too is inevitable. Nonetheless, as a Christian, being within these trials with whomever (spouse, friends, parents, siblings, etc.) is merited simply by definition of whose you are.
Do you grasp that today?
If so, you should never falsely accuse yourself (or listen to the Accuser himself) relative to the lie that your very presence situationally tipped the scales pejoratively within God's eyes. That lie is a paradox in an of itself because of the Biblical truth within the first sentence of this post.
Be mindful of voices within your head that state the following:
- "She would no doubt be better off without me as her husband."
- "This company / volunteer organization would have succeeded / would succeed further had it not / were it not for my presence here."
- "This friendship was doomed from the getgo due to me being one half of the whole."
- "My presence here caused all manner of problems and defeats."
Christians carry God's spirit within them. We are salt and light within this world of woe. By definition, our very presence consistently makes a righteous impact despite what we may believe of ourselves otherwise. Focus on that truth today.
