True story: one young spouse says to the other, "I know you want me to pursue you, but you've never been less appealing than you are now."
Why are we so mean to each other?
Why do mean people say things that hurt so badly that we feel sliced up inside?
Where does all this meanness come from?
I don't know. Human nature? Vomiting up what was done to us in our own past?
But of this I'm sure: we have a choice of which list to believe about ourselves--the one dictated to us by mean people with their slicing statements OR the one transcribed by God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the Bible, where They tell us thousands of times how beautiful we are, how loved we are, how treasured we are.
The list you believe will define the quality of your life.
I'm making my list--the-beautiful-words-of-love-to-me-list--and checking it LIFE.
