This week I’ve been focusing on relationships weather they are romantic, work related, or family. Relationships are important because they can either add value to who you are or rob you from moving forward toward your destiny without you knowing if you aren’t aware. Before entering a relationship it’s important that you’re filled with God’s love because God is the foundation of love. In the beginning we were created out of pure love. It’s God’s love that roots you and grounds you.
It’s important that you fill yourself up with the word of God and know the characteristics of God. People who are not filled with God’s love struggle with being able to show real genuine love and are often very insecure. The main thing that God gives you is security. And if you don’t have security that means you’re insecure.Being in a relationship with someone who is insecure everything is about them and constantly feeding their ego. Their cup is empty and they are full of themselves and not of God.
Here are 5 signs that you are in a unhealthy relationship:
They're selfish and real love is selfless. (Refer back to previous post “Unconditional Love”) Everything is about them and how they can feed their own insecurities. For example, they constantly talk about themselves and what they are doing and hide behind their accomplishments.
They're overly critical. This kind of criticism is not constructive criticism that helps to build you up and make you a better person but it’s constantly pointing out your flaws and comparing you to others and in the process tears you down. Nothing is ever good enough. They constantly have an opinion about everything, your outfit, your hair, or how you carry yourself.
They hide behind titles. Constantly emphasizing they are a CEO, or Boss giving off the appearance as though they are more dominant and powerful but in reality they are just a child crying out for attention.
They always have an excuse as to why they can’t do something. I mean how many times do you have to remind them of things they should be willing to do without you needing to ask. That’s because it’s not important to them. They do not have your best interest but only the interest of themselves and the things that stroke their ego (Refer back to later post I Got big ego)
They're constantly concerned about what everyone else thinks because they are a people pleaser. They seek the approval and validation from other people so they can in return congratulate them. They need compliments to fuel their ego.
When you're truly filled with God's love it kills all of these insecurities. I'm sure there a are many more signs than the ones listed above. But if any of these signs sound familiar I would suggest removing yourself from the relationship instead of staying in the relationship thinking things will change. You can't change people only God can change people. It's an unhealthy relationship. Let it go and let God.
