We had a great study tonight on building a healthy self concept. I shared that we so easily see the faults in other people and cannot see the faults in ourselves. The main reason is that we are not prepared to change. It is much easier to blame our failures on the system or our upbringing or on some other veiled excuse when we dont want to do the hard work of looking at ourselves. If we see ourselves as we really are, then what are we going to do? That is one of the real values of a healthy relationship...that we have someone who will hold up a mirror so we can see an accurate picture of ourselves. Too many of us surround ourselves with mutual admiration societies...people who lie to us so we can lie to them, The world tells you to love yourself and the Bible says something completely different. Yes, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, but you must also remember that your righteousness is like filthy rags. The key to a healthy relationship is learning to think rightly about yourself...the more clearly you see the virtue in yourself, the more clearly you can see the virtue in others. We meet again the week after Thanksgiving. Why dont you consider joining us.
