We cannot change (nor control) one single thing about anyone else’s life and/or life choices, but guess what and ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ we can change? I mean, we know the answer, itโs our own lives, but that doesnโt make it any easier does it? Listen, if the same dysfunctional relationship cycles keep on happening all around us, maybe itโs time we take a look in the mirror and ask what ๐ธ๐ฆ can begin to change?
And when it comes to friendships of the female kindโฆ
Women, itโs time for us to heal, restore, and uncomplicate that which has been stolen or lost when it comes to female relationships. We need to heal from the wounds our mothers, mentors, and sisters gave us. We need to let Jesus take the knives out of our backs that people we once trusted placed there. We need to rise up and show our daughters a new way.
We all have scars from relational brokenness. Just remember that your scars tell a story. They are the strongest part of your skin. Wounds need attention and care to eradicate infection so that healing can run its course, but scars tell a story of healing. If you have wounds, let them be healed. If you have scars, maybe itโs time to awaken to the truth that you are being called to come alongside another sister, share your story, and show her how to heal, letting her know that she doesnโt have to be on the outside looking in anymore.
Yes, it can be complicated, because we are complex, intricate human beings with a past, but we also have an unwritten future and an opportunity within this present moment to begin to forge new pathways. ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ข๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐จโ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐.
