I thought I would share some thought provoking tweets from Beth Moore that were posted in Charisma Magazine, since the Forum is in a state of transition, with the new TOS.
Run for your life from this thread this morning. Here’s what the Lord is bringing to light in my dark heart. What we resent most about our hardest relationships is what they bring out in us. In easier ones our pleasant self-deceptions of being wonderful blameless people flourish.

Whether they live down the hall, the street or across the globe, by nature our favorite neighbors to love are those who bring out our favorite things we love about us. Instead of loving our neighbors as ourselves, we’re prone to love the neighbors who make us love ourselves.

If God has placed us in relationships that bring out the worst in us, it’s because indeed HE WANTS TO BRING OUT THE WORST IN US. Permanently out, plucked up by the bloody roots. It’s because He is faithful to us, unstoppably devoted to finishing the good work He started in us.
We want others to change so we don’t have to. The more resistant we are to our own personal transformation, the further we’ll withdraw from God & the very people He wants to use to make us most like Christ.
God, help us. Relationships are HARD.
