You are the target of the family bully or bullies.
How can you be sure this decision is accurate?
Test #1: Does the relationship keep you from getting traction in your own life journey? Are you constantly having to spend large amounts of time and energy with endless encounters that get nowhere?
Test #2: Is there a molestation of your self-worth? Does the bully paint you in inaccurate ways so that you keep hearing what you are not?
Yesterday we said that if you are the target, you have to be the one to take action by moving.
With the help of a trusted friend or family member, write down a description of the bully and how he/she/they make(s) you feel. Include what areas of your life are impacted most, where you cannot get traction, and their specific words or actions that violate your body, your heart, your personality, your hopes, your life's work.
These written words are important. It is the next step. It takes the reeling impact of the bully that continually churns in your mind and gives it definition. Most importantly, it gives you conviction that you are, indeed, the (or one of the) target(s).
Then, against all reason, ask God to bless the bully.
