We all have people in our lives that we find difficult. How can we be the Bride we long to be and who our Husband needs us to beâ prepared and willing to love the unlovable, some who are blind and suffer from seeing shadows?

Thank you Erin, this is something He really blessed me with since the start of my journey. But more specifically in my journey to forgive my parents after they past away. I knew about things that happened in my mother’s childhood, also my dad’s, but I was never able to think of it in an understanding way and to connect it to all that happened when they started to kill the pain with alcohol. But He started to work in me regarding this and it led to me being able to totally forgive them, and now when I think about them, I can only feel love for them and see them as who He created them to be. And this is something I am learning to apply to each person in my life. This is a powerful principle in being able to love the unlovable.
Oh, Adina, I can’t even imagine how difficult that had to be for you but it’s made you into the incredible woman you are today! Just think of how you would have tried to deal with all the pain YOU have endured had you not had the Love of your Husband and your Heavenly Father too!! You are such an inspiration and has to increase everyone’s desire to want MORE of Him and His LOVE!!
Sometimes you wonder why you had to go through all the things you did in your life, but where I am now on my journey, I know He had a purpose, and that is to help others and help them to find the One who heals, protects and loves us with an everlasting love!
Thank you for sharing this principle to treat each other in an understanding way and of course I never thought of when I interact with other women it should be as if to a weaker vessel. And coming to think of it, I would love other women to think of me in the same way. With my daughter going through some changes because of her hormones, I need to really work with her in a loving way and guide her lovingly. So thinking of her in that way really helps me so much, thank you. And the comparison to seeing shadows, was nice for me to envision because I like to see things in my imagination and then it sticks. When I went to my Heavenly Husband, He also showed me that sometimes I am the one seeing shadows which means some more healing need to take place for me as well. In the end you thanked us for listening, but I want to thank You for following Him and blessing us with these words of wisdom.
Thank you Yvonne, yes since our daughter’s are currently going through the same changes, you just reminded me that I also have to deal with my daughter in an understanding way and be gentle with her because there are huge changes happening in their bodies, we’ve also been there and must just treat them with love and understanding.
Yes and me with 3 granddaughters. Whatâs incredible is that my daughter and daughters-in-law were anticipating the change that happened or is about to happen. It wasnât like that when I was younger and had no clue what had taken place.
And though I know itâs important to explain the physical aspects of this change WHY donât we also begin to explain and help them to understand what it means spiritually. Possessing a âgentle and quiet spiritâ and itâs powerful to win without a word. Trusting Him more to battle for them and protect and comfort them. To wait until the emotions pass (that are only temporary) to speak. I watched how Tara took this to heart and how winning this trait was in her life and how EVERYONE treated her with such honor and respect. I want this for ALL our daughters and granddaughters.
Your comment made me smile đ especially when I read about your daughterâour daughters (my granddaughters) when becoming women we must begin to treat âin an understanding way as with a weaker vesselâ and when given the opportunity to speak this truth with close family members and âset the stage.â. My Husband brought my sister Aunt Patty Cake and how His enlightening me led me to look at her and treat her and speak ABOUT her in a very compassionate loving way that âset the stageâ to her family all treating her differently.
You know as women I believe THIS is what we are called, what we are DESIGNED to do. But we have been so horribly altered by the accepted and pushed way of thinking. Thereâs so much LOVING, GENTLE and QUIET power we have that we donât use because we foolishly use the brand of power given to a man. Wow đ€© I have got to talk to my Husband more about this!!
Anyway THANK YOU for shining đŠ a light in this dark hidden truth Yvonne.
Erin thank you for this lesson. I had been struggling with applying this principle with someone in my family as well. It has been very difficult to love someone who is so rude to everyone, is cutting with her words and has a bad attitude. I had decided a while ago that i was going to show her love no matter what even when she rejects me and the relationship got better but lately its gone the opposite way again for some reason. I have found myself pulling back not wanting to deal with this person but I knew my Husband was asking me to be different and just keep moving forward and loving no matter what but I had been struggling, so I need more of Him right now to help me see things the way He sees them. With this podcast I know that my Husband is showing me how to do what He has been asking me to do.
You’re exactly right, Liora. Often we tire or we get hurt by what the person who we’ve been ministering to has done or said or not given to usâand YES, it means we GET TO draw closer to Him because we need more of Him in order to continue to give. I find myself there today too! My solution yesterday was to LET GO and let Him know, HE needs to take it, “Darling, if you want me to do or say something, let me know.” So far, He’s simply said, “Nothing to do, I’ve got her,” so I will leave it until He tells me to do more. It’s taken me 3 decades to learn and understand this principle and I’m still not fully there yet! hahaha
