DO YOU BELIEVE?

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF A MIGHTY GOD AND NOT BECAUSE OF A MUDDY GLOB? WE HAVE A GOD WHO IS ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, AND EVER PRESENT. A BOUNDARY IS SIMPLY A PROPERTY LINE. IT CLARIFIES WHERE YOU END AND THE OTHER PERSON BEGINS... BOOK-BOUNDARIES...BY HENRY CLOUD & JOHN TOWNSEND

MANIPULATION "GUILT"

LOVE DOES NOT MANIPULATE. LOVE TELLS THE TRUTH. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO MANIPULATING BY MAKING OTHERS FEEL GUILTY, THEY CAN'T RECOGNIZE LOVE WHEN THEY SEE ONE STOP MANIPULATING WHEN ONE COMES RIGHT OUT AND STATE WHAT IT IS ONE WANTS. MANIPULATION PLAYS ON GUILT. IF ONE CAN MAKE SOMEONE FEEL GUILTY, ONE CAN GET THEM TO DO WHAT ONE WANTS. IT'S HARDLY THE WAY TO GO, IT'S WRONG.

LOVE SAYS: ONES UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ME WHATSOEVER.

LOVE SHOULD BE WITHOUT STRINGS ATTACHED.

ONE'S RELATIONSHIP DESERVES TRUTHFULNESS AND LOVE. ONE DESERVES THE RESPECT AND HAPPINESS THAT RELATIONSHIPS SHOULD BRING.
