Triangle

7/30/2020

John 2:24-25 “Jesus did not commit Himself unto them…for He knew what was in man.”

Do I expect too much out of others, especially those closest to me? Sadly, I believe I do. I would say this applies to my husband the most. I am thankful, however, that I am learning to turn to God in emotional areas, especially those that I once expect my husband to help me manage. He now can be in a support position knowing that I bring everything to my Almighty Father. We strive to have our relationship with God and each other truly resemble an isosceles triangle, where God is the pinnacle above us both, and we are below Him on an even plane. We have been married for a long time, and I can tell you, this is the healthiest way we have found to survive and thrive in this life together. Chambers’ wise words about this subject are: “It works this way—if we love a human being and do not love God, we demand of him every perfection and every rectitude, and when we do not get it  we become cruel and vindictive; we are demanding of a human being that which he cannot give. There is only one Being Who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.”

We will forever let each other down in our human frailty, but Jesus never will in His ultimate perfection.
