Why is it in our nature to beat ourselves up? We know something is a bad situation, something hurts us, but we keep going back to it anyways. Why do we allow ourselves, or encourage ourselves to do this? Will we ever really make a change?
Why do we want to be friends with people who put us down? Will we ever really change, or will they? So why keep in a situation that is not encouraging, a situation that you know is not good for you?
Why is it the human response not just to endure all, but to keep going back to it?
It just doesn't make sense!
Am I heartless if I only want to be around people who encourage me and lift me up? Is that selfish? Love all...but does that love mean allowing people to beat you up? Can I love others, yet protect myself?
At what point is it okay to take care of myself? What does that look like? Am I really allowed to do so?
What would Jesus say and do?
