I was reading in "The Daily Bread" about God using a big fly swatter to correct us. Sometimes we need a big flyswatter used on us to wake us up. Maybe this sounds familiar.
Have you ever been around someone you love and that person is so set on perfection that they continually keep after you about something? It is brought on by their insecurities and it feels like they are standing there with a big giant fly swatter ready to "Whap"! you every time you do something they consider "Wrong". They swat you until you conform so they can feel in control. If you get whopped too often and you allow it to happen then your self-esteem is torn down and become only a branch of them. There is no you anymore. You must remover yourself from that situation in order to be who you are. Ask God to help you to become you and to give you assistance. Remember when Jesus left he told the disciples that he was sending a helper, that is a helper to you as well. It is the Holy Spirit and we all have this spirit in us and our helper. We have power within us and to heal us, help us change and to make good discisions.
Until you decide to not allow the flyswatter to be whapping you all the time, you will be not allowing the whapper to live with God and to learn forgiveness. You will only be a crutch to them and you are there enabler. Yes, you will have to be strong and do some things that will make you feel upset and you will not want to do but it is best.
Remember God is with you!
