It's My Picture of Myself
When there are conflicts or when there is distance in a certain relationship, I may try to blame the other person and hold them at fault. Or I may be able to take an honest look at my own actions and see how I may be contributing to the problem. But what if the source of the issue is rooted, not just in my actions, but in my self-esteem? What if the way I view myself is having a negative impact on my relationship with someone else? What if how I feel about "me" is causing problems for "us"?
Scripture References: Psalms 103:10-12, Psalms 139:13-14, Luke 12:6-7, Luke 6:31, Ephesians 5:8, Romans 8:38-39
From Series: "It's Not You, It's Me"
In any relationship there will inevitably be flaws and shortcomings to endure. Whenever a relationship becomes unhealthy, it is not uncommon to try to point out the other person’s failures or accuse them of being the source of the problem. But what if it’s me? What if there is something that I could improve about myself that would improve this connection? We’re going to spend the next several weeks at Flagstone taking an honest look at ourselves and discovering what we personally can be doing to improve the health of our relationships.

It's My Desire for Control
We all want to have some sense of control over certain events in our lives. We want to feel like we can dictate certain circumstances to our benefit if possible. But what happens when my desire to maintain control ends up infringing on someone else's well-being? I can consciously, or often subconsciously, make a habit of trying to dictate other people's actions and attitudes...and that's a problem. How do I know if I have an unhealthy desire for control? And what can I do to change it?
