No matter where you are or with whom you are talking too, communication is the key.
What do i mean, you need to be able to express your feelings, emotions, desires, etc in some kind of format.
To God, it is through prayer, but what about to other humans?
Well that comes in different formats such as:
- Written
- Verbal
- Body
- Facial
- Actions
- etc
God has communicated through the Bible His requirements. Unfortunately, we do not always understand what He wants. We misinterpret His desires on a frequent basis. This one of the reasons why God/Jesus has said let those who have ears hear.
My wife an I after 20+ years actually started communicating, I was not sure what she wanted from me and she was not sure what I wanted from her. That does not mean we see eye to eye, but it means we are talking/communicating to each other our expectations.
Is it perfect? Heck no, but it is better than it was.
Now we are both confused more than ever as to what each of us needs. You may be scratching your head and going huh? I do not follow. It is better for each of us to be confused than to not know, I realize that my wife needs certain fulfillment’s as do I. It does not mean they will be fulfilled, but rather we know what those requirements are. It then comes down to am I willing to do so.
If something compromises your inner being, then all I can say is do not do it. God is talking to you about this very situation.
My question to you, is are you communicating to your loved one? If not, then how do you expect them to know what you are feeling? Please do not use the rationale if they loved me, then they would know because you are asking them to read your mind/body expression. In other words speak up.
