Sometimes I ask the question, "Is life fair?". Recently I read a very good devotion by a friend about how wonderful her relationship with her mom is. As I was reading this, my mind was going back to the previous week when I sat and listened to several young women talk about how strained their relationship with their mom was.
I encouraged them to seek to work daily on their relationship with the Lord and ask His guidance on how to have a relationship with their mom. In this "ME" society, more people are self-centered and don't know how to love unconditionally - even their own children. I am not saying it is always easy to love unconditionally. There was a time in my life that I did not know how to love unconditionally, but the closer I walk with the Lord, the more surprised I am at how unconditionally I love my family as well as everybody around me. That does not mean I don't have boundaries. In some of my relationships I have found that the healthiest way is to have a surface relationship. I don't love them any less. I just choose to love them where they are and not push my expectations of who they should be on them. That is just my opinion and I have learned that not everybody wants to know my opinion.
Today I choose love. Today, life is fair.
