Welcome back everyone. My name is Tanya Lee Carey and the subject will continue on relationships that are being challenged and stretch and it's really a good thing spiritually because it can help us grow. If we surrender in the Lord every single time of the stretching he will we surrender to him in our weakness we can become our strongest. The word for today connected with relationships is endurance and 2nd Timothy 2 3 it talks about enduring and suffering as a good soldier. Well you didn't know you was in the army when you gave your life to the Lord officially you are a soldier in God's army and there's a war going on. Number one the war is against our mind. That's the first battleground. A war against our bodies. A war against the fulfillment of God's plan and purpose in our life. A war against our family. A war against our relationship. It's not about correcting them it's about us correcting ourselves with the help of the Lord. There's three areas that can help you. I pray that you can get at least one of them. Number one is you need brothers and sisters in the Lord that has a prayer life. Prayer is a lifestyle. You don't want anyone, girl you gonna take that? Boy, man you you gonna go through that? You gonna let her talk to you like that? No you don't want that. That's darkness feed off of darkness. You want men and women that's full of grace that's full of mercy that able to see your side and their side and they allow direct you in prayer and the Word of God so that the Lord the Holy Spirit can minister to you that strength that we need in a weakness. Number two we need to do something positive for ourselves. We need to do work on something that we enjoy doing. I love making keepsakes. I love creating calendars. I love making greeting cards. Do something positive for yourself and number three we got to start being positive. Well that's easy for me. If you're pessimistic you need to learn to be more optimistic. I'm very optimistic. I just see and work towards seeing the good in other people and and when I don't see the physical evidence of the good I just get quiet. I slow to speak. You can't say nothing good. Don't say nothing at all because the whole ideal is not correcting somebody else. The more we are corrected and transformed by the renewing of our mind our hearts are beginning to have like a surgery exchange of that God and his grace and his mercy will begin to start changing the atmosphere and the atmosphere begins on the inside of us. That's how we can start the the relationship begins to start growing and and that love can return if it's lost and that's because the love of God is we allowing it to enter inside us and in that we can give it and if they receive it or not we can still give it because of his love never fails. So I want to end this in regards to relationships and enduring as a good soldier and being the best soldier you can be and that's through a cultivated prayer life and allow the Lord to minister his grace in you and I amen amen that's it for today my name is Tanya Lee Carey I will continue with this subject on relationships and allow the Lord to heal and strengthen all of us amen I love you and there's nothing you could do about it peace
